In a prospective randomized study the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin (one injection of 1500 a PPT-Units/d Mono-Embolex NM) was compared with the effect of unfractionated heparin (5000 IU t.i.d.) in 200 patients undergoing micro-neurosurgical lumbar disc operations. Criteria of evaluation were lethal pulmonary embolisms, clinical signs of pulmonary embolisms, confirmed by radioisotopic lung scans, and major bleeding complications. The present investigation demonstrates, that a single daily subcutaneous injection of Mono-Embolex NM is an effective and well tolerated measure against thrombo-embolic complications, at least equal to the established low dose heparin prophylaxis with 5000 IU t.i.d.

D010314 Partial Thromboplastin Time The time required for the appearance of FIBRIN strands following the mixing of PLASMA with phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides). It is a test of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) and the common pathway (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V and X) of BLOOD COAGULATION. It is used as a screening test and to monitor HEPARIN therapy.
