    Thromboelastography effectively monitored heparin during vascular surgery, showing varied patient responses. This method helped avoid complications, eliminating the need for heparin reversal agents.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Heparin is commonly used during vascular surgery.
    • Monitoring heparin's anticoagulant effect is crucial.
    • Individual responses to heparin can vary significantly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of thromboelastography (TEG) for monitoring intraoperative heparin administration.
    • To assess the variability of patient responses to a standardized heparin dose.
    • To determine the need for heparin reversal agents and the occurrence of hemorrhagic complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Thromboelastography was employed to monitor heparin.
    • A fixed dose of heparin (70 units/kg) was administered intraoperatively.
    • Patient outcomes, including the need for protamine and bleeding complications, were observed.

    Main Results:

    • Interpatient variability in response to heparin was significant.
    • No patient required protamine to reverse heparin's effects.
    • No hemorrhagic complications were reported in any patient.

    Conclusions:

    • Thromboelastography is a valuable tool for real-time heparin monitoring during vascular procedures.
    • Standardized heparin dosing may be safely managed with TEG monitoring.
    • TEG-guided heparin management can potentially reduce the risk of bleeding complications.
