This monitor provides the dosage calculation for 10 kinds of medicine, including: AMINOPHYLLINE,
DOBUTAMINE, DOPAMINE, ADRENALINE, HEPARIN, ISUPREL, LIDOCAINE, NIPREL, NITROGLYCERIN and
PITOCIN.
Medicine Dosage Calculation applies the following Formulas:
MC = Gross ÷ Cubage
(D/m) = (D/h) ÷ 60
(D/Kg/m) = (D/m) ÷ Weight
(D/Kg/h0 = (D/h) ÷ Weight
DS = TS ÷ (Cubage/drop)
Duration = Gross ÷ (D/h)
Items definitions:
MC: medicine consistency;
(D/m): dosage per minute;
(D/h): dosage per hour;
(D/Kg/m): dosage per kilogram per minute;
DS: drop speed;
TS: titration speed
(D/Kg/h): dosage per kilogram per hour;
Gross: medicine gross;
Description
All items in formulas above are consistent with those in the Medicine Calculation Window.
In the Medicine Calculation Window, only "Medicine" and "Weight" are input items, all others are output
items.
Medicine: to select a medicine type.
⚫
Weight: to set the weight of a patient for calculation, the patient here is not the current patient
⚫
being monitored right now. The weight can be set from 0.5kg to 300kg. Its interval is 0.5kg. The
defaults are 70kg for Adult, 20kg for Pediatric, 3.0Kkg for Neonate.
Other output items: except "Medicine" and "Weight" items, all other items are outputs. Generally,
⚫
they are not needed to be adjusted after calculation. However, they can be fine-tuned practically.
All other items results will be updated accordingly when an item fine-tuned.
Operation steps:
⚫
1
Select a "Medicine", e.g., AMINOPHYLLINE;
2
Set a "Weight", e.g., 70.00 kg;
3
Any change in "Medicine" or "Weight" will cause the system to calculate all output items and
display them on screen automatically.
Because each output item has its own valid range, it will be displayed as "..." when the calculating result
exceeds its range.
