As the prophylactic use of heparin continues to increase, nurses must be aware that heparin use may cause heparin-induced skin necrosis--a rare but serious complication. Although even more severe complications may occur from heparin use, this discussion will focus on skin necrosis caused by subcutaneous heparin. Should heparin-induced skin necrosis develop, heparin therapy must be discontinued immediately. This case presentation illustrates one patient's reaction to this complication.
