Effects of alternative techniques of low-dose heparin administration on hematoma formation.
A small clinical trial was conducted to compare a modified subcutaneous injection technique with the standard subcutaneous method. The data in this study do not strongly support the use of either technique. However, the modified subcutaneous method may be preferable in that fewer injection-site hematomas formed. Further research with a larger population is indicated before either method can be recommended over the other.
