What are Alternatives to Heparin in Neonates?

In cases where heparin is contraindicated or not effective, alternatives include:
1. Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH): Offers a more predictable anticoagulant response and requires less frequent monitoring.
2. Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs): Though not commonly used in neonates, they are an area of ongoing research.
3. Antiplatelet Agents: In certain situations, medications like aspirin may be used instead of anticoagulants.
