Heparin is the drug that the nurse would anticipate administering while this client recovers in the hospital.
Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a drug and a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan.
Since heparins are dependent on antithrombin activity, they are considered anticoagulants. Specifically, it is also used in the treatment of heart attacks and unstable angina. It is injected into a vein or under the skin.
Other uses include in vitro and renal dialysis machines.
Common side effects include bleeding, pain at the injection site, and low blood platelet counts. Serious side effects include heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. More attention is needed in people with poor kidney function.
Heparin is contraindicated in suspected cases of vaccine-induced immune pro-thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VIPIT) secondary to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, because heparin can further significantly increases bleeding risk with the autoimmune anti-PF4/heparin complex, in favor of alternative anticoagulants (such as argatroban or danaparoid).
