| Synopsis: |
GUIDELINES Pocketcards are multifold pocketcards containing society-endorsed, evidence-based treatment guidelines in a brief algorithmic format that is most preferred by practising clinicians, quality managers, nurses, educators, and medical students. The Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia GUIDELINES Pocketcard is endorsed by the American College of CHEST Physicians (ACCP) and based on the 9th Edition Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines. This practical quick-reference tool contains screening and diagnostic recommendations with the 4Ts score, detailed treatment recommendations and algorithms, and a list of approved agents including dosing information. It provides all that is needed to make accurate clinical decisions at the point of care including: key points, incidence by type of Heparin exposure, a screening algorithm, laboratory diagnosis, a 4Ts scoring table, management with algorithms, a detailed table of approved anticoagulants, and current medication tables with brand and generic names. Applications include point of care, education, QI interventions, clinical trials, medical reference, and clinical research. |
