LMWH usage in Trauma patient

[Roy Danks]

Eleanor,
 
My only experience with dalteparin was when I was a resident at Grant Medical Center, Columbus, OH.  Contact them:  Steve Santanello is the director of trauma.  Not sure who is in charge of the pharmacy.  That's been several years ago, but in my 2 months on the service, I felt it was comparable, but can't recall the dose used.
