Compliance with Platelet Count Monitoring Recommendations and Management of Possible Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Hospitalized Patients Receiving Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin

Abstract

The results suggest that compliance with recommendations for platelet count monitoring and management of possible HIT is low at our institution. Policies and tools to improve compliance with recommended laboratory monitoring should be developed to secure the safe use of LMWH and other medications.
