Heparin Dosing

For ischemic CVA the heparin dosing is as follows: no bolus, and 600-1000 units/hr drip (not weight-based). For other indications, use the calculator below.
Heparin indication

(For ACS, strongly consider LMWH instead of unfractionated heparin. Also, if using a IIb/IIIa inhibitor with unfractionated heparin, dose the unfractionated heparin as though the patient has a STEMI.)

Note #1: Opioid analgesics have widely variable half lives, and when you switch from one form to another, you should adjust the scheduling accordingly.

Note #2: Methadone should be dosed by someone with experience using the drug. Consult palliative care or pain management.
