I was shocked to find there are several popular ways (including some lesser-known ones) that show you how to crack a Sentry Safe. So breaking into one should be difficult after all. Summary Heparin is an anticoagulant or blood thinner, meaning its purpose is to prevent blood clots.Sentry Safes are supposed to be fireproof and burglar-proof. This is useful in preventing blood clots from forming to cause DVTs, pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks, or strokes. However, heparin is a high alert medication because of its high risk of bleeding. Heparin requires regular lab draws to monitor PTT levels, which should be between 1.5 to 2 times the patient’s baseline. If the PTT level is more than double the baseline, do not give the heparin and alert the provider. Heparin is also known to cause heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or low platelet levels, so keep an eye on that lab value as well. Inhibits clot formation by binding with antithrombin III to inactivate thrombin and inhibit the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin.įinally, the antidote of heparin is protamine, which is given via IV in cases where the effects of heparin need to be reversed.

Measure PTT to monitor effectiveness of heparin therapy.Therapeutic PTT level for patients on heparin is 1.5-2x the baseline levels (usually 46-70 seconds).Dosing is usually based on the patient’s weight.Note that heparin does not break up existing clots, instead it prevents clots from getting bigger and new clots from forming.

Prevent clots that could lead to thrombotic events like heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, or DVT.

Prevent clotting during open heart surgery.

IV heparin may be ordered and administered concurrently in the first few days a patient takes warfarin, since warfarin takes several days to have a therapeutic effect (usually around 5 days).

This is referred to as a “heparin bridge”.
