Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia A1 - Parikh, Rita A2 - Atchabahian, Arthur A2 - Gupta, Ruchir PY - 2013 T2 - The Anesthesia Guide AB - Type 1: Isolated HIT develops early in heparin therapy and is benign. No resultant bleeding or thrombotic complications. Not mediated by the immune system: passive heparin binding to platelets resulting in a modest shortening of the platelet life span. The platelet count rarely falls below 100 × 109/LType 2: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome (HITTS) is associated with severe thrombocytopenia and paradoxically thrombotic episodes instead of hemorrhagic complications. Occurs in patients receiving heparin for more than 5 days; may occur within 1 day if prior heparin therapy exposure <100 days SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57261315 ER -
