Treatment with higher doses of blood thinners is effective in patients with corona who are hospitalized on the ward. The treatment can prevent these patients from becoming seriously ill and can improve the recovery of these patients. However, treatment with such a dose of blood thinners is not effective for patients in intensive care (ICU). This is shown by research from three clinical studies worldwide, Utrecht UMC reports.

UMC Utrecht intensivist and researcher Lennie Derde: “Since the start of the pandemic, doctors all over the world have seen more blood clots in patients with Covid-19. Now we know better which treatment we can apply for this for both ward and IC patients. The research results have direct implications for the care of Covid-19 patients around the world.”

The researchers found in January of this year that treatment with high-dose blood thinners can prevent patients admitted to the ward from becoming seriously ill and improve their recovery. A month earlier, the researchers concluded that the anticoagulants in this high dose showed no improvement in patients on the IC.
