INTRODUCTION: Whether and when to monitor the amount of anti-factor Xa (aFXa) activity in critically ill patients with complex diseases to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) remain unclear. This study is a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of aFXa level monitoring on reducing VTE and to establish a new method for accurately preventing VTE in critically ill patients with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).

METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A randomised controlled trial is planned in two centres with a planned sample size of 858 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups receiving LMWH prophylaxis at a 1:1:1 ratio: in group A, peak aFXa levels will serve as the guide for the LMWH dose; in group B, the trough aFXa levels will serve as the guide for the LMWH dose; and in group C, participants serving as the control group will receive a fixed dose of LMWH. The peak and trough aFXa levels will be monitored after LMWH (enoxaparin, 40 mg, once daily) reaches a steady state for at least 3 days. The monitoring range for group A's aFXa peak value will be 0.3-0.5 IU/mL, between 0.1 and 0.2 IU/mL is the target range for group B's aFXa trough value. In order to reach the peak or trough aFXa levels, groups A and B will be modified in accordance with the monitoring peak and trough aFXa level. The incidence of VTE will serve as the study's primary outcome indicator. An analysis using the intention-to-treat and per-protocol criterion will serve as the main outcome measurement.

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Xuanwu Hospital Ethics Committee of Capital Medical University and Peking University First Hospital Ethics Committee have approved this investigation. It will be released in all available worldwide, open-access, peer-reviewed publications.
