Is anyone giving Lovenox IV, we have just had an MD order it and have not given it by this route and the MD could not give us much evidence other than other hospitals are giving it IV as a bolus when starting anticoagulant therapy. Thanks
All the literature that I can find says that Lovenox is to be administered sc. I would NOT administer it IV. If the doc wants it given that way, then he will be invited to administer each dose needed.
