In our hospital, we caluculate the units/kg/hour to make sure the dose of hepain does not exceed the anticoagulant dose of 10 units/kg/hour. We pay attention to the number of central lines and the number of lumes and caluculate the total amount of hepain. Toshi Holland Children's Hospital Oakland, DA
