The document provides a heparin dosing nomogram for use in an Electrophysiology (EP) Lab, specifying dosage protocols based on activated clotting time (ACT) and patient weight. It includes instructions for adjusting heparin boluses and maintenance doses to achieve therapeutic ACT levels during retrograde and transeptal procedures. Additionally, it outlines steps for rechecking ACT at intervals to maintain optimal anticoagulation.
