Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time versus Antifactor Xa Heparin Assay in Monitoring Unfractionated Heparin by Continuous Intravenous Infusion
The most common methods for monitoring UFH are the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and antifactor Xa heparin assay (anti-Xa HA), but both present challenges, and the optimal method to ...
