Using the wrong type of heparin to flush a catheter can result in fatal bleeding.

Practical Issues on the Use of Enoxaparin in Elective and Emergent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Pharmacokinetics of enoxaparin administration. Anti-Xa activity of intravenous (IV) enoxaparin after: (A) a 0.5 mg/kg dose, (B) a simulated 0.75 mg/kg dose and (C) and a simulated 1mg/kg dose (7th, 50th and 95th percentiles) (38).fter an adequate number of SC doses of enoxaparin (1 mg/kg q12hr for at least 48 hours), anti-Xa activity levels can remain therapeutic for at least 8 hours after the last injection. Thus, to support elective PCI, IV enoxaparin has pharmacokinetic advantages over therapy given by the SC route (Figure 1).

- Enoxaparin binds to and accelerates the activity of antithrombin III. By activating antithrombin III, enoxaparin preferentially potentiates the inhibition of coagulation factors Xa and IIa(thrombin). The anticoagulant effect of enoxaparin can be directly correlated to its ability to inhibit factor Xa. Since the action on F10a/F2a generation is much more important than just anti-F10a concentration LMWH should be monitored by an ultra-specific and ultra-sensitive thrombin generation assay (INCA or EXCA). 2  Because enoxaparin is dosed by weight, weight should also be monitored.
