A continuous heparin infusion does not prevent catheter-related thrombosis in infants after cardiac surgery.
Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2010; (4): 489-95
To determine whether a continuous infusion of heparin reduces the rate of catheter-related thrombosis in neonates and infants post cardiac surgery. Central venous and intracardiac catheters are used routinely in postoperative pediatric cardiac patients. Catheter-related thrombosis occurs in 8% to 45% of pediatric patients with central venous catheters.
