Mateo_1387 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Pt was placed on long term coumadin therapy with maintenance INR of 2 and recovered without further complication. What is the bolded?
p3medic Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 INR = International Normalized Ratio. It is based on PT, "normal" value being 1. An INR of 2 would have a PT of 2 times normal, an increased PT. (prothrombin time)
CTXMEDIC Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 What is the bolded? has to do with clotting factors....
