SummaryA preliminary clinical trial was conducted to determine the feasibility of achieving and regulating therapeutic anticoagulation with heparin given by continuous subcutaneous infusion. Five patients with deep venous thrombosis confirmed by impedance plethysmography and/or venography were studied. All patients received an initial heparin dose of 5000 units by IV bolus. This was followed by a continuous subcutaneous heparin infusion at a dose of 15 to 25 units per kilogram per hour. Effective levels of anticoagulation were achieved in all five patients. Regulation and maintenance of therapeutic anticoagulation were no more difficult than with intravenous therapy. No major complications were encountered during therapy.Continuous subcutaneous infusion of heparin may have advantages over standard intravenous therapy or high dose intermittent subcutaneous therapy. However, more extensive clinical evaluation is warranted.

<p><em>Intravenous therapy (VI) is the therapy frequently used on medical care. More than 60% of clients treated at hospital applied the therapy.  The problem found was inappropriate standard operational procedure in applying Intravenous therapy. The purpose of this study was to know the correlation of supervision and motivation in  applying Intravenous therapy based on standard operational procedure  done by nurse at inpatient care facility of Siloam Hospital, Jambi.Populations were all nurses worked at the hospital. The samples were 51 nurses; it was a total sampling. The result of univariate analysis revealed that the number of respondents who had a good supervision was 30 nurses (58.9%). Meanwhile, the respondents having high motivation were 26 (51%), and the respondents who applied intravenous therapy based on standard operational procedure were 43 nurses (64.3%). The biavariate showed that there was a significant correlation between supervision and applying intravenous therapy based on standard operational procedure (p-value 0.034&lt;0.05) and there was a significant correlation between motivation and applying intravenous therapy based on standard operational procedure (p-value 0.018&lt;0.05). In summary, there was a significant correlation of supervision and motivation in  applying Intravenous therapy based on standard operational procedure  done by nurse at inpatient care facility of Siloam Hospital Jambi.</em></p>
