Table 5.
Comparison of the median values from heparin dose and coagulation assays in the presence and absence of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
| DICa | Absence of DICa | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heparin dose (IU/kg/h) | 15.1 (0–37.2) | 20.8 (0–161) | 0.004 |
| ACT (s) | 189.5 (143–289) | 182 (118–999) | 0.27 |
| aPTT (s) | 64.7 (47.4–151) | 60.2 (28.7–151) | 0.04 |
| Anti-factor Xa (IU/ml) | 0.16 (0.09–1.2) | 0.27 (0.09–1.9) | <0.0001 |
| CT-INTEM (s) | 298 (237–1157) | 278 (154–5126) | 0.13 |
| CT-Diff (s) | 56 (−148 to 788) | 58 (−126 to 4785) | 0.60 |
ACT, activated clotting time; aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; CT-INTEM, clotting time in INTEM; CT-Diff, clotting time in INTEM minus clotting time in HEPTEM; DIC, disseminated intravascular coagulation.
