Unfractionned heparin wastage at a French university hospital.

CONCLUSION: More than a quarter of the heparin purchased is wasted. The results should lead to policy decisions concerning the medications supply chain, i.e. abandoning the 20000UI/48mL protocol, supply of ready to use heparin syringes by industry or by the pharmacy. It is essential that these data be fed back to nurses teams, in order to gather their suggestions before considering any changes of their practices.PMID:38340805 | DOI:10.1016/j.pharma.2024.02.002
