Why Unfractionated Heparin Still Matters in Modern Anticoagulation – Thrombosis Canada
Thrombosis Canada shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Unfractionated heparin has been used for decades.
But using it well still requires careful clinical decisions.
When is UFH preferable to other anticoagulants?
Should treatment begin with a bolus?
When might a no – bolus strategy make more sense?
And how can the risks associated with UFH infusions be reduced?
At Thrombosis Unpacked: Decisions That Matter, Dr. Matthew Nicholson will take a modern look at this familiar anticoagulant in Unfractionated Heparin: Old Drug, Narrow Lane, focusing on where UFH still belongs in clinical practice and strategies to improve its safe use.
Join colleagues from across Canada to explore practical approaches to difficult thrombosis and anticoagulation decisions.
