Answer:
Yes, both Coumadin and Heparin can be given at the same time.
Explanation:
Both Coumadin and Heparin can be given at the same time. Heparin is is a blood thinner (anti-coagulant) used to prevent and treat blood clots.The patient has been diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) which is the formation of blood clot in a vein located deep in the body (usually the lower thigh or leg). The heparin drip she is being administered will help treat the blood clot
Coumadin is also an anticoagualnt and is used for treating blood clotts. However, it takes days (about 3-4) before the treatment starts to work. It stops the synthesis of the four vitamin K–dependent clotting factors in the liver (factors II, VII, IX, X).
Both Heparin and Coumadin are overlapped for at least five days as they work differently. The Heparin is discontinued after anticoagulation occurs and the client starts to be treated with coumadin.
