Heparinization

Heparinization is a method of artificially reducing blood clotting by administering heparin. Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents the formation of blood clots and improves blood circulation.

Heparinization is used to prevent and treat thrombosis, as well as to reduce the risk of thromboembolism after surgery or injury. It can be performed either intravenously or subcutaneously.

Intravenous heparin is usually administered in a hospital setting under the supervision of a physician. Subcutaneous administration of heparin can be performed independently by the patient and does not require special equipment.

However, heparinization may have a number of side effects, such as bleeding, allergic reactions, decreased platelet levels in the blood, and others. Therefore, before carrying out heparinization, it is necessary to consult a doctor and carry out the necessary tests.

Heparinization is a method of artificially reducing blood clotting, which is based on the introduction of heparin into the human circulatory system. It is based on preventing platelet aggregation; in addition, it binds calcium ions, activates anticoagulation factors and limits the formation of fibrin.

Used during operations in cardiovascular surgery and endoscopy, for the prevention of venous thrombosis. The dosage is calculated according to individual indications. To ensure long-term continuous action after surgery, repeat doses of heparin (at half dose) are prescribed every 6 hours for 48–72 hours. For 12–24 hours after surgery, heparin is used intravenously in the form of prolonged (i.e., slowly dissolving) drugs (Fraxiparin\*\*, Fraxem) subject to the necessary conditions and strict laboratory control. Subsequently, you can switch to subcutaneous injections. However, it should be noted that heparins can provoke bleeding, so you must have a bleeding control kit with you.

In most cases, heparinization is carried out using intramuscular or subcutaneous injections, but often there is a need for other types of injections. This is usually carried out in manipulation rooms of polyclinics, medical centers of large industries
