A calculator program to determine heparin requirements during hemodialysis.
A calculator program has been developed that will compute the sensitivity and clearance of heparin in a patient on hemodialysis prior to reaching steady state. The coagulation time at any time during the dialysis cycle may be determined. A rebolus dose or a duration of time to hold the infusion may also be calculated.
