%X One of the most effective measures in increasing the dialysis adequacy is to use an appropriate administration method of anticoagulants to prevent clot formation in the hemodialysis system. Therefore, the present research was carried out to find the most proper anticoagulation method in hemodialysis patients. 176 hemodialysis patients admitted to the dialysis centers of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences under the two methods of anticoagulation with heparin (continuous infusion and intermittent bolus group) via convenient sampling method participated in this quasi-experimental research. The dialyzer observation and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test were utilized for evaluating the coagulation and clotting formation of the arterial and venous chambers. The research was carried out in the before and after comparative form. Data collection tools are the checklist of doing hemodialysis and demographic and background features. Finally, SPSS16 statistical software was used to analyze the data. The blood clots occurrence in the dialyzer was considerably more frequent in the intermittent method than infusion method in the second, third and fourth dialysis hours (the end of dialysis) (P>0.05). However, no significant difference was seen in PTT comparison of the two methods. Based on the findings, for better anticoagulants, infusion method can be suggested to dialysis centers. In addition, because the changes in the PTT is more stable using this method, bleeding risk does not threaten the patient.
