➤ Why is converting to units/hr important for patient safety?
Converting to units/hr ensures accurate pump settings and prevents dosing errors. Heparin has a narrow therapeutic range and requires lab monitoring (aPTT or anti‑Xa). Miscalculations can cause bleeding or thrombosis. Verify vial strength, total volume, and have a second clinician confirm high‑risk infusion calculations.
