Does controlled heparinization using thrombin clotting time limit bleeding complications in high-risk patients requiring hemodialysis?
Controlled heparinization using thrombin clotting time can successfully prevent extracorporeal clotting while limiting bleeding complications in patients at risk for hemorrhage during hemodialysis.
Richard D. Swartz (2008) conducted an observational in High-risk patients requiring hemodialysis with increased risk for bleeding (n=51). Controlled heparinization using thrombin clotting time was evaluated on Bleeding complications. Controlled heparinization using thrombin clotting time limited bleeding complications to 5% overall during hemodialysis in patients at increased risk for bleeding.
