Abstract
SESSION TYPE: Hematologic Problems in the ICU
PRESENTED ON: Monday, October 22, 2012 at 11:15 AM - 12:30 PM
PURPOSE: Diagnosis of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) is clinical and can be further confirmed with laboratory testing. Serotonin Release Assay (SRA) is very specific but not available when clinical decisions are being made. This study will test the accuracy of two clinical scores and Heparin Dependent Antibody Assay (HDAA) in critically ill patients in both medical and surgical ICUs.
