1. Aim/Purpose of this Guideline
1.1 Despite the use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in symptomatic COVID-19 patients there appears to be increased risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) in these patients. There is little evidence to guide altering or intensifying standards of care and limited national or international guidance on how to manage the resultant prothrombotic state, coagulopathy and disseminated intravenous coagulation (DIC) in patients with COVID-19. This guideline has a pragmatic approach to patient management based on the expertise from Consultant Haematologists, Intensivists, Medics, consensus interim guidance from the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) of March 2020 , together with current published evidence, shared anecdotal evidence within the NHS secondary care network.and guidance in use at NHS centres with significant experience of patients with COVID-19
1.2 COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The clinical presentation is that of a respiratory infection with a symptom severity ranging from a mild common cold-like illness, to a severe viral pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome that is potentially fatal. Mild symptoms including fever, fatigue and cough. In severe cases, patients can progress rapidly and develop the acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, metabolic acidosis and coagulopathy including, but not limited to, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). DIC is often evident in advanced COVID-19 cases, and the D-dimer is routinely significantly elevated.
1.3 The majority of patients requiring secondary care input for management of
COVID-19 are immobile therefore have a reduced venous flow with an need for prophylaxis, with a primary acute inflammatory response leading to a hypercoagulable state, and endothelial cell activation/damage possibly due to binding of the virus to ACE2 receptor
1.4 Increased rates of venous and arterial thrombosis are reported, for example
amongst Dutch patients a 27% (95%CI 17-35) incidence of VTE and 3.7% arterial vascular events have been reported, despite use of standard weight based low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) thromboprophylaxis. It is of note than in reports of VTE from Chinese studies, the general incidence of VTE Asian populations is low and so routine VTE prophylaxis is uncommon, as is commonly the case in COVID-19 reports. It has also been commented that chemical thromboprophylaxis is not common for ITU practice outside of the UK.
1.5 Patients with COVID-19 are presenting with complex derangements of normal haemostasis, with pro-coagulant factors such as raised levels of fibrinogen and FVIII, which increase their risk of thrombotic complications. There is evidence for DIC, however unlike that seen in sepsis or massive transfusion bleeding is uncommon. DIC is an acquired syndrome characterised by activation of coagulation pathways, resulting in formation of intravascular thrombi and commonly depletion of platelets and coagulation factors. Thrombi may lead to vascular obstruction/ischaemia and multi-organ failure. A hyperfibrinolyic consumptive DIC has not been reported, with COVID-19 rather fibrinogen is
Thrombosis Prophylaxis, Treatment and Coagulopathy in COVID-19 Patients Clinical Guideline V1.0 Page 4 of 15
often raised. DIC is often evident in advanced COVID 19 cases, The D-dimer degradation fragment of cross linked fibrin is routinely significantly elevated from a likely combination including inflammatory pathways, eg macrophage activation and DIC.
1.6 Increased doses of LMWH may be required to combat dramatic elevation in procoagulant factors, and it has been suggested that increased doses appear to dampen the pro-thrombotic effect of the marked inflammatory response to COVID_19. Increased doses of LMWH do not appear to be associated with increased bleeding with precedent from other areas such as bariatric surgery and pregnancy VTE care and thromboprophylaxis,
1.7 The purpose of this guideline is to support clinical decisions for prophylaxis, treatment and management of thrombosis and coagulopathy in COVID 19 patients.

2. The Guidance
2.1. Clinical review of patient and determination of risk category in COVID 19 patient This guidance should be used based on a confirmed or clinically significant picture of a COVID 19 positive patient. The patients risk score should be based on a full clinical picture including oxygen requirements, risk of hypoxia, D-Dimer levels, FBC, likelihood of clotting, observations and symptoms. The risk category should not be based on D-Dimer levels alone. Examples of low risk and high risk patients are as follows:
Low Risk Flu like symptoms, no organ support. Mobile patient. No clinical suspicion of VTE.
High Risk Hypoxia (relevant to chest findings) raised D-dimers, raised ferritin but low CRP. No other clinical signs of VTE, denoting likely COVID diagnosis.
Therapeutic Clinical suspicion of, or recent confirmed, VTE
Thrombosis Prophylaxis, Treatment and Coagulopathy in COVID-19 Patients Clinical Guideline V1.0 Page 5 of 15
2.2. Electronic Prescribing and Medicines administration
An Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration system (JAC) has been introduced to RCHT. A similar system (Carevue) is utilised on critical care. These systems allows for the electronic prescribing of all anticoagulation agents and enables, through reporting, a real-time overview of oral and parenteral anticoagulation prescribed for inpatients as well as being able to collate data on levels of prescribing, correct thromboprophylaxis, and missed doses.
2.2.1. VTE Assessment Completion
To ensure appropriate management of these patients VTE assessments must be completed to signify COVID status either as positive or considered positive due to clinical presentation. The DoH VTE risk assessment tool which is available on JAC (excluding VTE risk assessment in pregnancy) is part of a ‘gate-keeping’ system thus promoting the completion of assessments for all applicable patients. A comparable process occurs daily in critical care with Carevue.
2.2.2. Recording patient weight
To ensure minimal patient contact and enable remote chart reviews the patients weight must be recorded on the electronic chart. The dosing is weight dependent therefore an actual body weight must be obtained and recorded prior to prescribing and administration of therapy. In exceptional circumstances where a patient weight cannot be obtained an estimated weight should be used and recorded under “estimated weight” on JAC.
2.3. Dosing for Thromboprophylaxis in COVID 19 patients
The duration of therapy should be 7 days with the option to continue based on a documented clinical decision for prophylaxis. The thromboprophylaxis should then reviewed and potentially revert back to the standard prophylaxis as appropriate for non-COVID 19 patients (see Thrombosis Prevention Investigation and Management of Anticoagulation Clinical Guideline for further details).
2.3.1. Standard dosing for Dalteparin Thromboprophylaxis (use in low
risk patients)
Actual Body Weight eGFR >= 30mL/min eGFR <30mL/min
<50kg 2500 units once daily
2500 units once daily 50kg-100kg 5000 units once daily
101-150kg 5000 units twice daily 2500 units twice daily
Greater than150kg 7500 units twice daily

If there is clinical concern the patient is not appropriately anticoagulated then consider targeting anti-Xa levels as in Table 2.5.3 and titrate dose to effect
2.3.3. Prescribing of Thrombosis Treatment in COVID 19 patients
Treatment dose Dalteparin 200units/kg/24hours (license) used for patients with suspected or proven thrombosis. Twice daily dosing of Dalteparin is preferred in patients who may require procedures/ those at higher risk of bleeding and allows for anti-Xa monitoring to be conducted in daytime hours, 3-4 hours post morning administration.

2.3.4. Patients requiring haemofiltration This section relates only to patients who require haemofiltration (not dialysis) and will usually only happen on critical care (or designated critical care areas during the pandemic period). Any patients requiring haemofiltration need treatment dose therapy and targeted anti-Xa monitoring under supervision of a critical care consultant.
2.3.5. Patients undergoing dialysis
These patients should be treated as per standard Trust guidance if further anticoagulation is needed please discuss with the renal team.
2.4. Cautions and Contraindications to Heparin use:
2.4.1. Relative contraindications are untreated haemophilia and other
haemorrhagic disorders, history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, peptic ulcer, recent cerebral haemorrhage, severe hypertension, severe liver disease, oesophageal varices, active bleeding, major trauma and recent neurosurgery or eye surgery.
2.4.2. Thrombocytopenia with platelets <25-30 x109/l (note this is lower than
in non-covid 19 patients where the contraindication is <75 x109/l) and in the absence of clinical bleeding may require anticoagulation however this should be a considered clinical decision with consultants and may warrant discussion with Haematology.
2.5. Laboratory Monitoring 2.5.1. Practical Monitoring
All necessary clinical tests are available in the COVID 19 pathology bundle.
A general haematology form is used, detailing the prescribed anticoagulant and the required test e.g. INR, APTT ratio, or anti-Xa level. Tests are performed on a CITRATED sample (sky blue topped bottle), which should be correctly filled to the line (adults 2.7ml) to avoid a dilutional effect of the anticoagulant.
2.5.2. D-Dimer monitoring
D-Dimers are significantly higher in COVID 19 patients. There are links with patient prognosis and D-Dimer levels. Patients with D-Dimers >500ng/ml should be considered high risk. Repeat D-dimer estimation should not be the basis of decision making. A raised D-dimer in isolation does not define the need for screening for VTE
Thrombosis Prophylaxis, Treatment and Coagulopathy in COVID-19 Patients Clinical Guideline V1.0 Page 8 of 15
2.5.3. Anti-Xa monitoring of dalteparin dosing in high risk patients with renal impairment. For the proposed higher dose “prophylactic” and particular “therapeutic” regimens (2.3.2 and 2.3.3) in patients with renal impairment (eGFR <30ml/min) peak anti-Xa levels should be measured on day 2-3 of LMWH to ensure therapeutic anticoagulation. Samples should be taken 3-4 hours after administration. In practice this may require moving prophylactic dosing to earlier in the day for ease of lab monitoring.
Target Anti Xa levels:
Prophylaxis 0.2 - 0.5 units/mL
Treatment 0.5 - 1.2 units/mL
2.6. Oral Anticoagulants
Oral anticoagulants are not recommended during the inpatient admission for acute VTE treatment in COVID-19 patients due to bleeding risk, renal impairment, drug-drug interactions, poor oral intake or nil by mouth, poor gastrointestinal absorption, and other factors. Patients who are admitted on DOACs/warfarin should be switched to treatment dose LMWH at the appropriate dose for their risk factor. Patients on low dose DOACs/warfarin for AF should have a CHADS2-VASc score to determine treatment or prophylactic dosing. Those with a score>1 usually require treatment dosing.
2.7. Bleeding with anticoagulants
Significant thrombocytopaenia <75 should be corrected. A DIC screen and “hold” sample for anti-Xa should be sent. Hypofibinoginaemia <2g/l should be corrected with FFP or as needs Cryoprecipitate. If the prothrombin time is prolonged (INR raised) give vitamin K 10mg IV LMWH can be reversed as per the current Trust guidance Thrombosis Prevention Investigation and Management of Anticoagulation Clinical Guideline.
2.8. Medication on discharge
2.8.1. Patients admitted on Oral anticoagulants prior to COVID 19
admission Patients who were admitted on DOACs/warfarin should have their usual medication restarted prior to, or at, discharge taking into consideration their renal function and co-morbidity status.
2.8.2. Patients being discharged post COVID 19 admission
As per NICE guidance on thromboprophylaxis, patients should receive a minimum of 7 days anticoagulation.
Thrombosis Prophylaxis, Treatment and Coagulopathy in COVID-19 Patients Clinical Guideline V1.0 Page 9 of 15
Patients should receive 7 days of anticoagulation on discharge with the option to extend if deemed clinically appropriate at the point of discharge.
If a prolonged period of post-discharge anticoagulation is considered this must be clearly documented in the discharge plan with rationale. This decision should be made by the attending clinical team.
