Anticoagulation guidelines for COVID

Level Criteria CrCl ≥30 CrCl <30
1 No VTE
D-dimer < 6.0
BMI ≤ 30: Enoxaparin 40 mg subcutaneous Qday
BMI > 30: Enoxaparin 40mg subcutaneous Q12hr
Enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneous Qday or UFH 5,000 units subcutaneous Q8hrs
2 No VTE and any of the following:
• D-dimer > 6.0
• D-dimer increased by > 2.0 despite 48hr of prophylactic LMWH or UFH
• Inability to dialyze due to clotting in line, filter, or machine
Enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg subcutaneous Q12hr Low Dose IV Unfractionated Heparin Protocol
3 KNOWN or SUSPECTED VTE, or
Inability to dialyze due to clotting in line, filter, or machine despite Level 2 anticoagulation
(Consider if FiO2 > 50% or O2 > 6L/min for >4 hrs while on Level 1 or 2 anticoagulation)
Enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneous Q12hr DVT/PE IV Unfractionated Heparin Protocol
- Use approved order set
- Consider eliminating bolus if recent Anti-Xa at/near goal or LMWH recently dosed
4 Any of the following while therapeutic on treatment dose of unfractionated heparin or enoxaparin:
(1) VTE
(2) Suspected HITT
(3) D-dimer persistently >20
(4) Inability to dialyze due to clotting in line, filter, or machine despite Level 3 anticoagulation
Check:
- Cardiolipin Ab Panel
- HITT screen (if indicated)
- Antithrombin III activity
- Beta-2 Glycoprotein Ab Panel
Options:
- Consider using Anti-Xa for LMWH dosing
- If patient has breakthrough clotting while on therapeutic LMWH (and HIT is not suspected), consider increasing LMWH dose by 25%
- If HIT is suspected, consider switching to argatroban or fondaparinux (fondaparinux requires less nurse/phlebotomy contact with patient)
- If emboli are suspected, consider thrombolysis
