[Continuous infusion of heparin in newborn infants with disseminated intravascular coagulation].

This study was carried out in ten infants with DIC who were given heparin at the rate of 100 U. per kilogram of body weight and per day in continuous perfusion. Successful therapeutic results were achieved in nine cases made evident by recovery and quick clinical control of their DIC condition, shown by normalization of hemostatic and fibrinogen tests and negative paracoagulation tests.
