Influence of Vasopressors on Anti-Xa Activity in Critically Ill Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Critically ill patients require antithrombotic prophylaxis. At the same time, majority of them is receiving various vasopressors. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a difference in anti-Xa activity, which is a marker of anti thrombotic activity of low molecular weight heparins, between the patients receiving norepinephrine with argipressin, compared to those receiving norepinephrine alone.

NOR+ARG Critically ill patients receiving norepinephrine and argipressin, with antithrombotic prophylaxis with 5000 IU of dalteparin. |
Diagnostic Test: Serum anti-Xa activity
4 hours after third dose of dalteparin, serum anti-Xa activity is measured
