Cooking times can be shorter in toaster ovens. If your product says cook it at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, you should set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes.
Approach Considerations. If heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is suspected, the first step is to discontinue and avoid all heparin products immediately. An order to simply discontinue heparin may not necessarily prevent heparin exposure, because unfractionated heparin (UFH) is commonly used to flush catheters.
To prevent them, doctors usually prescribe blood-thinning (anticoagulant) medications, such as low-molecular-weight heparin, which is given by injection, or the newer drug, rivaroxaban (brand name Xarelto), a pill. But that old medicine-cabinet standby, aspirin, also has blood-thinning properties. And the Canadian researchers wondered if this simple, inexpensive drug could also prevent blood clots after a major surgery. They compared the drugs for four weeks, following 10 days of treatment with heparin immediately post-surgery.
