About ptt time and coumadin?

[CrystalClear75, BSN, RN]

I could have SWORN I started a thread about ptt and INR and I believe it was daytonite(your great btw;))that explained it so well. She said something about coumadin having 7 letters and 7 plus 3 is 10,(I can't remember what that related to) but I CANNOT find the thread. Please help me, it was such a nice analogy but it was so long ago. Why can't i find it when I search my threads?

another way to remember which drug is with what our teacher taught us that if you write ptt in small case letters it two t's together look like an H. So PTT is for Heparin
