Pharmacokinetic Comparison of Subcutaneous and Intravenous Nadroparin Administration for Thromboprophylaxis in Critically Ill Patients on Vasopressors
Beschreibung:
<jats:p><b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Critically ill patients are exposed to a high risk of developing thromboembolism. Moreover, standard prophylaxis with subcutaneous (SC) heparin is less efficient in patients requiring vasopressors. The aim is a comparison of pharmacokinetics between SC and intravenous (IV) applied nadroparin. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty-eight ventilated ICU patients requiring vasopressor support were randomized into a single dose of nadroparin 3,800 IU (0.4 mL) subcutaneously (SC group) or 1,900 IU (0.2 mL) intravenously (IV group). Anti-factor Xa activity (anti-Xa) was observed over 24 h; data are stated as median (IQR). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Peak anti-Xa was significantly higher in the IV group 0.42 (0.39–0.43) IU/mL than in the SC group 0.16 (0.09–0.18) IU/mL (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). There was a trend towards higher area under the curve (AUC) of anti-Xa in the SC group 1.41 (0.41–1.80) IU/mL × h than in the IV group 1.04 (0.93–1.13) IU/mL × h (<i>p</i> = 0.08). In the SC group, there was a negative correlation between anti-Xa AUC and both capillary refill time Xa (<i>r</i> = –0.86) and norepinephrine dose (<i>r</i> = –0.68). In the IV group, anti-Xa decrease half-life was 1.6 (1.4–2.0) h. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> IV administration of 1,900 IU of nadroparin led to a predictable effective peak anti-Xa. After SC administration, anti-Xa was heterogeneous and significantly influenced by peripheral perfusion.</jats:p>
