Chapter 17 Calculations
The calculation result isn’t the direct measurement patient data, but that
the monitor gets according to the data you have offered. This monitor has the
function of drug dose calculation, hemodynamic , nephridium,ventilation and
oxygenation calculation.
17.1 Drug Dose Calculation
This calculation of drug concentration is mainly aimed at facilitating the
work of physicians. It conducts concentration calculation on some commonly
used drugs. A content of titration table can be output through recorder.
17.1.1 Calculation Step
1. Select【Main Menu】smartkey→【Calculation】→【Drug Calc】.
2. Select【Drug Name】, the following categories of drugs can be calculated
by the monitor: AMINOPHYLLINE, DOBUTAMINE, DOPAMINE,
EPINEPHRINE, HEPARIN, ISUPREL, LIDOCAINE, NIPRIDE,
NITROGLYCERIN and PITOCIN. In addition, it provides DRUG_A,
DRUG_B, DRUG_C, DRUG_D and DRUG_E to displace any other drugs
flexibly.
3. Input【Patient Weight】, as independent information the weight is only
used in the function of the calculation of drug concentration.
4. After finishing the above operation, in the system, the values that are
given initially are only a group of random initial values and the operator
shall not take this value as the calculation standard and a group of values
appropriate to the patient must be reentered according to the physicians’
comments.
5. Affirm that the inputting parameter values are correct.
6. Affirm that the calculation results are correct.
