Features

Emergency
Dog / Cat - Drug, defibrillation, and fluid calculator for ICU patients
Transfusion - Given patient weight, current and desired HCT, calculate volume of blood to transfuse and prophylactic diphenhydramine dose.
ABG Analysis - Given pH, HCO3, and PCO2, determine primary and secondary components of acid-base status as well as whether compensation is appropriate. Also includes anion gap calculation.
Bicarbonate Dosing - Given base deficit, calculate appropriate bicarb dose.
Aa Gradient - Based on Atmospheric pressure, PaO2, PaCO2, and FiO2


Cardiology
Echo Values - Normal canine echo values calculated based on patient weight.
Mean Electrical Axis - MEA calculation based on either Lead I, II, and III or Lead I, and aVF.
Heart Rate - Calculates instantaneous heart rate based on paper speed and RR interval.

Conversion

Mass - kg, g, lbs, oz
Temperature - F, C, K
Volume - cup, gallon, liter, mililiter, oz, pint, quart

Comparison

Crystalloid Fluid - Compares the Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, HCO3-like anions, Glucose, and Osmolality of 9 commonly administered crystalloids

General
Enteral Nutrition - Determines how much food should be offered to patients based on their MER. Includes caloric information for 13 common diets.
Fluid Plan - Suggests a fluid therapy plan based on water deficit, maintenance requirements, and ongoing losses. It also suggests appropriate K+ supplementation based on the current K+ blood level.
Maintenance Fluid - Calculates the maintenance fluid requirements of dogs and cats
Body Surface Area - Useful for those dosing situations based on surface area (chemotherapy)

Percentage Solutions
Percent to Volume - This calculator is used to determine how much drug to add to create a solution with a given concentration
Combining Fluids - This calculator is used for diluting solutions to a given %.
   
CRI
CRI (mg) - This calculator will tell you how much of a drug you must add to a known volume of fluid which will be running at a set rate (ml/hr) to deliver the drug to a patient at a set rate (ug/kg/min or mg/kg/hr).
CRI (ml/hr) - This calculator will help determine the rate (ml/hr) to run a fluid at to deliver a fluid with a known concentration (mg/ml) at the desired rate (ug/kg/min or mg/kg/hr).

Anesthesia
Drip Rates - Calculate how fast (drops/minute and seconds/drop) to run a given volume of fluid over a given amout of time, using the specified drip set.
Ideal - Given the patient weight and drip set size, calculates the ideal rate to run fluid at (ml/hr, ml/15 minutes, drops/15 sec) (especially handy for anesthesia classes and clinic rotations)
Actual - Back calculate the rate you're actually delivering fluid (ml/hr, ml/15 minutes) and the dose (ml/kg) based on patient weight, drip set, and drops/15 sec.
Premeds - Calculates recommended premedication dosing for canine and feline patients based on patient weight. Specifies a min, recommended, and max dose. Based on Anesthesia clinic orientation notes. Has solo agents, and combination protocols
Induction - Calculates recommended induction dosing for canine and feline patients based on patient weight. Specifies a min, recommended, and max dose. Based on Anesthesia clinic orientation notes. Has solo agents and combination protocols.

Laboratory
Anion Gap
- Based on HCO3, Cl, Na, K
Corrected Calcium - Based on Ca and Albumin
Osmolality - Based on Na, K, Glucose, and BUN

Will ONLY run on Pocket PC devices or on the Desktop. It will NOT work with PalmOS devices
Note: Improvements were made in the text and form element engine of Pocket Internet Explorer in the new version of the operating system (Pocket PC 2002). Most of the calculators have been optimized to take advantage of these improvements. Milage using other devices may vary.
