Attachment 2 Intravenous Standard Heparin Protocols for 300 unit / ml Infusion) Note: The following protocols are appropriate for use only when infusing Heparin solutions of 300 Units per mL (for example 15,000 Units Heparin Sodium in 50 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride). These protocols are not suitable for use when other concentrations of heparin are infused. NOTE: This concentration is ONLY endorsed for use at Liverpool Hospital.. Therapy is usually initiated with a bolus intravenous dose of heparin calculated by body weight, and then a heparin infusion commenced at the rate indicated below. The initial bolus dose is usually omitted following cardiothoracic surgery. It will often be appropriate to omit the bolus dose in the early postoperative period where there is a high risk of bleeding. If in doubt, discuss this with the surgeon responsible for the patient.
