  Comparative Study Observational Study

  Thromboprophylaxis With Heparin During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Comparison of Hepcon HMS Plus and Anti-Xa Assays for Low-Range Heparin.

  The purpose of this study was to compare the agreement between two heparin assays, Hepcon HMS plus/Kaolin-ACT and Anti-Xa, and their predictive power in detecting circulating heparin levels post-reperfusion of the liver graft when compared with thromboelastogram (TEG) r time ratio in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). ⋯ The point-of-care Hepcon HMS plus/Kaolin-ACT (activated clotting time) assay appeared to be a reliable alternative to the more expensive and laboratory-required Anti-Xa assay in monitoring the response to intravenous heparin in patients undergoing OLT.
