Author information: (1)Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St Louis, MO, USA. Dose adjustment required/precaution advised for obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2. The current study was not powered to demonstrate differences in venous thromboembolism or bleeding between enoxaparin dosing regimens. Assessment of bleeding events associated with short-duration therapeutic enoxaparin use in the morbidly obese. Measurements and Main Results. J Thromb Thrombolysis 2011; 32:188.

Search ADS . Patients: A … Obstet Gynecol 2015. Consider anti-Xa monitoring. We completed a pharmacokinetic study in morbidly obese, medically-ill patients to determine if weight-based dosing of enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis was feasible, without excessive levels of anticoagulation, as determined by peak anti-Xa … Deal EN, Hollands JM, Riney JN, et al. Mentioned by twitter 1 tweeter. Assessing an enoxaparin dosing protocol in morbidly obese ... Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Our institution developed an inpatient protocol with reduced enoxaparin doses (0.75 mg/kg/dose based on actual body weight) for patients with a weight >200 kg or BMI > 40 kg/m(2). A retrospective study evaluating the dosing of enoxaparin in 26 morbidly obese hospitalized patients ... there is no standard enoxaparin monitoring protocol and thus anti-Xa levels are ordered at the discretion of the physician or per the recommendation of a clinical pharmacist. Peak plasma anti-Xa levels after the first and third dose of enoxaparin in women receiving weight-based thromboprophylaxis following caesarean section: a prospective cohort study. Background: Enoxaparin dosing for patients with morbid obesity is uncertain, and therefore, an elevated incidence of bleeding may exist in this group.

CONCLUSIONS: Weight-based dosing with enoxaparin in morbidly obese SICU patients was effective in achieving anti-factor Xa levels within the appropriate prophylactic range. However, morbidly obese patients were under-represented in these trials and using fixed-dose enoxaparin in obese patients may be inadequate.

Enoxaparin Dosing in Morbidly Obese Women. 2010;30(3):324. Assessing an enoxaparin dosing protocol in morbidly obese patients. 2014 Jun 1;71(11):909-17. doi: 10.2146/ajhp130475. The effect of obesity on the pharmacokinetics of enoxaparin is not clearly understood and traditional treatment doses in morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] > 40 kg/m(2)) can lead to over anticoagulation. Overweight and obese adolescents treated with reduced enoxaparin dose (RD) were reviewed. 15. Our institution developed an inpatient protocol with reduced enoxaparin doses (0.75 mg/kg/dose based on actual body weight) for patients with a weight >200 kg or BMI > 40 kg/m(2). The optimal dosing of enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis in this population is not clearly defined as the relationship between monitoring of therapy and outcomes is lacking, obese patients may not follow a predictable dose response, and they often have multiple other risk factors for VTE. Evaluation of therapeutic anticoagulation with enoxaparin and associated anti-Xa monitoring in patients with morbid obesity: A case series. Our institution developed an inpatient protocol with reduced enoxaparin doses (0.75 mg/kg/dose based on actual body weight) for patients with a weight >200 kg or BMI > 40 kg/m(2). Assessing an enoxaparin dosing protocol in morbidly obese patients. METHODS: A prospective sequential cohort study of women with BMIs of 40 or greater who underwent cesarean delivery was conducted. 13.&Bazinet&A,&Almanric&K,&Brunet&C,&et&al.&Dosage&of&enoxaparin&among&obese&and&renal&impairment&patients.&Thromb&Res&2005;& 116:4150. Objective: To compare anti-factor Xa activity (anti-Xa) among obese and renal impairment patients to patients with healthy weight and adequate renal function. Two obese patients received adjusted enoxaparin doses: 60 mg daily for 6 days, and 40 mg twice daily before titration. Google Scholar. 16. Thirty-one patients were included … Consider enoxaparin 0.75 mg/kg bid (therapeutic dosing) and enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg (prophylactic dosing). We describe a case of a morbidly obese man (body-mass index, BMI: 68.2 kg/m 2, total body weight: 236 kg) who required therapeutic enoxaparin for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and critical limb ischemia as a bridge therapy during warfarin initiation. Myzienski AE, Lutz MF, Smythe MA. Assessing an enoxaparin dosing protocol in morbidly obese patients. Nevertheless, a chart review was conducted to identify any postpartum complications related to enoxaparin dosing. Background: Enoxaparin dosage for obese patients and patients with renal impair-ment remains controversial. Patients who are morbidly obese and receive the recommended weight-based enoxaparin dose are more likely to have anti-Xa levels above the goal range and to be at a higher risk for bleeding. Ninety‐nine morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] higher than 40 kg/m 2 or total body weight more than 150 kg) who received at least three doses of the standard treatment dosage of enoxaparin and had steady‐state antifactor Xa peak levels between April 2009 and January 2014. We completed a pharmacokinetic study in morbidly obese, medically-ill patients to determine if weight-based dosing of enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis was feasible, without excessive levels of anticoagulation, as determined by peak anti-Xa levels. 2015; 39:516-21.

Evaluation of therapeutic anticoagulation with enoxaparin and associated anti-Xa monitoring in patients with morbid obesity: a case series. The present authors recommend more studies on enoxaparin dosing regimens used for obese … Assessing an enoxaparin dosing protocol in morbidly obese patients. Our institution developed an inpatient protocol with reduced enoxaparin doses (0.75 mg/kg/dose based on actual body weight ) for patients with a weight >200 kg or BMI > 40 kg/m(2).

Crossref. Previously published studies did not agree on specific enoxaparin dosing regimens that will result in therapeutic anti-Xa levels for prophylaxis or treatment indications in obese patients.9,11,14–17 For example, a prospective study sequentially assigned medically ill and extremely obese patients who were prescribed enoxaparin for prophylaxis indications into 3 groups.
