In intensive care unit (ICU) patients, subcutaneous low-molecular weight heparin thromboprophylaxis results in lower plasma anti-factor Xa (anti-FXa) levels compared to general ward patients. The aim of this study was to examine whether enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis given as a continuous intravenous infusion (CII) results in more constant and predictable anti-FXa concentration than standard subcutaneous bolus (SCB) administration.
This was a prospective, single-blind, multicenter, randomized controlled trial where ICU patients requiring thromboprophylaxis received enoxaparin either 40mg as a SCB once daily or 40mg as a CII over 24h for three consecutive days. The primary outcome was maximum serum anti-FXa concentration (C) within the first 24h; the secondary outcome was anti-FXa area under the curve (AUC). Trough level was measured at 72h.
Thirty-nine patients were included in the intention to treat analysis. The median anti-FXa C was 0.05 (interquartile range, IQR, 0.05-0.18) IU/ml in the CII group and 0.18 (IQR, 0.12-0.33) IU/ml in the SCB group (p=0.05). Median anti-FXa AUC was 1.20 (IQR, 0.98-2.88) in the CII and 1.54 (IQR, 1.22-4.12) in the SCB group (p=0.095). After 72h, 66.7% of patients in the CII group had a detectable anti-FXa concentration of >0.1IU/ml, compared with 16.7% in the SCB group (p=0.019).
Continuous infusion of enoxaparin led to lower anti-FXa C than standard SCB administration. No difference in anti-FXa AUC was detected.
在重症监护病房(ICU)患者中,与普通病房患者相比,皮下给予低分子肝素进行血栓预防可导致较低的血浆抗因子 Xa(anti-FXa)水平。本研究的目的是检查依诺肝素作为连续静脉输注(CII)给药是否会比标准皮下注射(SCB)给药产生更稳定和可预测的抗-FXa 浓度。
这是一项前瞻性、单盲、多中心、随机对照试验,其中需要进行血栓预防的 ICU 患者接受依诺肝素 40mg 作为每日一次的 SCB 或连续 3 天 24 小时内输注 40mg 的 CII。主要结局是前 24 小时内的最大血清抗-FXa 浓度(C);次要结局是抗-FXa 曲线下面积(AUC)。在 72 小时测量谷底水平。
39 名患者被纳入意向治疗分析。CII 组的中位抗-FXa C 为 0.05(四分位距,IQR,0.05-0.18)IU/ml,SCB 组为 0.18(IQR,0.12-0.33)IU/ml(p=0.05)。CII 组的中位抗-FXa AUC 为 1.20(IQR,0.98-2.88),SCB 组为 1.54(IQR,1.22-4.12)(p=0.095)。72 小时后,CII 组 66.7%的患者抗-FXa 浓度>0.1IU/ml 可检测到,而 SCB 组为 16.7%(p=0.019)。
依诺肝素连续输注导致的抗-FXa C 低于标准 SCB 给药。未检测到抗-FXa AUC 有差异。
