Heparin for STEMI
Adult weight-based dosing has a median of 60 unit/kg across 17 published protocols, with the middle half between 60 and 60.
Includes 1 agency outside the US.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

Values in unit/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
