Enoxaparin Dose Adjustment is Associated With Low Incidence of Venous Thromboembolic Events in Acute Burn Patients

Abstract

Frequent occurrence of low antifactor Xa levels observed in this study demonstrated the inadequacy of standard dosing of enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis in many patients with acute burns. Enoxaparin dose adjustment was associated with a low incidence of VTE events and no bleeding complications.
