How is Heparin Administered to Neonates?

Heparin can be administered in various ways, depending on the clinical situation:
1. Intravenous (IV) Bolus and Infusion: For immediate anticoagulation, a bolus dose followed by continuous infusion is often used.
2. Heparin Locks: Small doses of heparin are used to maintain the patency of intravenous lines or catheters.
3. Subcutaneous Injections: Less common in neonates but used in certain conditions where long-term anticoagulation is necessary.
