Background And Objective: The risk of thrombotic complications in critical patients with COVID-19 remains extremely high, and multicenter trials failed to prove a survival benefit of escalated doses of low-molecular-weight heparins (nadroparin calcium) in this group. The aim of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic model of nadroparin according to different stages of COVID-19 severity.
Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 43 patients with COVID-19 who received nadroparin and were treated with conventional oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
