Dosage calculators:
- PO dosage calculator calculates liquid medications such as acetaminophen elixir
- IV dosage calculator calculates IV medications such as furosemide and digoxin
- PO dosage calculator - solids i.e. tablets, caplets, capsules, lozenges
Calculate IV rates:
- IV rate (gtt/min) calculates IV rates without using an IV pump
- IV rate (mL/hr) calculates IV rates when given a time limit when IV must be infused
- mcg/min as mL/hr calculates IV medication rates such as norepinephrine and nitroglycerine
- mcg/kg/min as mL/hr calculates IV medication rates such as nitroprusside and dopamine
Calculate infusion time:
- IV time (hrs) given an IV rate, calculates the duration of an IV
Calculate dosage given or infusing:
There are times when the only way to figure out how much medication is being infused is by looking at the information on the IV bag and the rate of the infusion.
- mL/hr as dose/hr calculates the dose of medications infusing such as heparin
- mL/hr as mcg/min calculates the dose of medications infusing such as nitroglycerine and norepinephrine
- mL/hr as mcg/kg/min calculates the dose of medications infusing such as dobutamine and nitroprusside
