How do you dilute heparin sodium?

Usually, 7,500 USP units of heparin sodium are added to 100 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (or 75,000 USP units per 1,000 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP) and mixed; from this sterile solution, 6 to 8 mL are added per 100 mL of whole blood.

How much heparin is in a vial?

HEPARIN SODIUM INJECTION is supplied in vials containing various strengths of heparin, including vials that contain a highly concentrated solution of 10,000 units in 1 mL.

Does heparin have to be diluted?

Changing the pH to 3.5 or 10.0 had little effect on storage stability. We conclude that heparin activity in vitro remains stable during short infusions but recommend dilution in 0.9% saline and a plastic container when a heparin solution is infused over 24 hours.

How do you calculate heparin units per hour?

18 units X 75 kg = 1350 units/hour Step 2: Calculate the starting rate of the Infusion (solve for X).

  1. Heparin Infusion Rate: 25,000 units = 1350 units/hour.
  2. 500ml.
  3. X (ml/hour)
  4. 25,000 units (X ml/hr) = 675,000.
  5. X ml/hr = 675,000.
  6. 25,000.
  7. X = 27 ml/hour.

How do you make heparin saline solution?

Obtain a 5ml vial of 5.000 Units Heparin per ml (25,000 Units in total). Using syringe, empty the 5ml into a sterile bowl. Add 7,5ml of sterile saline to bowl. Bowl contains 12,5ml of 2.000 Units Heparin per ml.

What is the dilution of heparin per mL?

To maintain patency of arterial lines. Use a final heparin concentration of 1 unit/mL (range: 0.5 to 2 units/mL). In order to avoid large total doses and systemic effects, use 0.5 units/mL in patients receiving multiple lines containing heparin.

What forms does heparin come in?

Heparin comes in two forms. One is an injectable solution, which you inject under your skin. The other is a solution that’s injected intravenously (into one of your veins). Only your doctor can give you the intravenous form.

How do you make heparinized saline?

Add 7,5ml of sterile saline to bowl. Bowl contains 12,5ml of 2.000 Units Heparin per ml. Summary: 25.000 Units / 12,5ml = 2000 Units/ml. It is important that the strength per mL of the heparin rinse is at least 1,000 but preferably 2,000 and that you have adequate volume to rinse all of the needles and syringes.

How do you infuse heparin?

IV continuous infusion

  1. Draw up 25ml of Unfractionated Heparin 1000 units/ ml in a syringe (use five vials of 5000 units/ 5ml)
  2. Add 25mls of 0.9% sodium chloride to produce a concentration of 500 units/ml.
  3. Administer via a syringe pump: Start the infusion at a rate of 2mls/hour (1,000 units/hour)
