Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin used in the neonatal period. It requires less monitoring than standard or unfractionated heparin, although current knowledge about its dose and therapeutic levels in neonates is scarce. In addition, there is very limited information about the management of overdose in this age group. We present the first case published in Spanish of a neonate who accidentally received a dose of enoxaparin ten times higher than the therapeutic one and an isolated dose of protamine to reverse its effect.

Multicharged cyclodextrins have attracted significant attention because of their applications in biology and pharmaceuticals. This study reports an aminoethoxy-phenyl-pyridinium-modified γ-cyclodextrin (PyA-γ-CD) as a highly efficient coagulant for heparin through multivalent interactions. The UV titration experiment is performed to obtain apparent binding constants (K) between PyA-γ-CD and heparin as high as 9.

Background: Anticoagulation is recommended for thromboprophylaxis after lower-limb orthopedic surgery. The suggested dosage is based on creatinine clearance (CCr) in the labels. However, most facilities only provide estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as laboratory data.

Background And Objective: Pediatric dosing of enoxaparin was derived based on extrapolation of the adult therapeutic range to children. However, a large fraction of children do not achieve therapeutic anticoagulation with initial dosing. We aim to use real-world anti-Xa data obtained from children receiving enoxaparin per standard of care to characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PopPK).

Purpose: The aim of this article is to describe a case in which protamine was used for a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) overdose and present an up-to-date review of the literature on the management of LMWH overdose in adults.
Summary: An unintentional administration of enoxaparin 900 mg occurred in a 73-year-old man with coronavirus disease 2019-related pulmonary embolism. Management of the overdose included a protamine bolus followed by an infusion.
Effectiveness of Body Mass Index-Based Prophylactic Enoxaparin Dosing in Bariatric Surgery Patients.

Department of Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Electronic address:
Introduction: Enoxaparin is administered for venous thromboembolic (VTE) prophylaxis in bariatric surgery patients. There is concern whether body mass index (BMI)-based enoxaparin dosing consistently achieves prophylactic targets in patients with severe obesity.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent bariatric surgery at an academic medical center from Jan 2015-May 2021 and had an anti-Xa level drawn 2.
