Weight-Based Heparin Nomogram:
DVT/PE Protocol
Obtain Baseline labs: aPTT, PT/INR, Hgb/Hct, Platelets, Chem-7, Hepatic enzymes
Monitor Platelet count daily
Document patient’s weight in kg: _______
Initial Bolus 80 units/kg * Calculations based on actual body weight
(MAX DOSE 10,000 units) * Round dose to nearest 100 units * Heparin supplied as 25,000 units/250 mL D5W
Initial Infusion Rate 18 units/kg/hour
(MAX INITIAL RATE 2,000 units/hr)
*Consider reduced dosing of 50 units/kg bolus and 15 units/kg/hour initial rate if elderly, edematous, or morbidly obese.*
Check initial aPTT 6 hours after starting infusion and after any rate adjustments. After two consecutive therapeutic aPTTs, may change aPTT checks to qAM.
Adjust heparin rate using the following chart: (revised 6/2009)

Notify MD for any of the following: Decrease in Hgb by more than 2 g/dL, decrease in Platelet count by 30% or more from baseline, platelet count less than 100,000/mm3, aPTT above 107 sec, or signs/symptoms of bleeding or worsening thrombosis. Note: Heparin needs a second verifier!
DVT/PE protocol:Physician enters initial Heparin bolus & infusion orders.
Per policy, ICU/ED RN then edits CRPS for rate changes & enters repeat PTT.
