Patient Monitor User Manual Drug Calculation and Titration Table (Optional)
- 84 -
Dose = Rate × Concentrate
DRIP Rate = INF Rate / 60 × DROP Size
Operating Method:
In the Drug Calculation window, the operator should first select the name of the drug to be calculated,
and then confirm the patient weight. Afterwards, the operator should also enter other known values.
Turn the knob to select the value of the item to be calculated. Turn the knob to change the value.
When it is the required value, press the knob to view the calculation result. Each item has its
calculation range. If the result exceeds the range, it displays “---.--”.
NOTE:
1 For the drug calculation, the prerequisite is that the operator must first of all enter the
patient weight and drug name. The system then gives a group of random initial
values, which cannot be used by the operator as the calculation reference. Instead,
he should enter a new group of values at the doctor’s instruction.
2 Each drug has its fixed unit or unit series. Operator must select the proper unit at the
doctor’s instruction. If the result exceeds the system-defined range, it will display “---”.
3 After entering a value, a prompt will appear in the menu warning the operator to
confirm the correctness of the entered value. The correct value is the guarantee for
the reliability and safety of the calculated results.
4 For each entered value, the system will always give a dialog box asking for the user’s
confirmation. You must be careful when answering each box. The calculated result is
reliable only after the entered value is confirmed to be correct.
Select the Drug Name:
Turn the knob to pick the DRUG NAME item in DRUG CALC menu. The user may select the
drug name in the pull-down list, including AMINOPHYLLINE, DOBUTAMINE,
DOPAMINE, EPINEPHRINE, HEPARIN, ISUPREL, LIDOCAINE, NIPRIDE,
NITROGLYCERIN, PITOCIN, Drug A, Drug B, Drug C, Drug D and Drug E. Calculation
for only one type can be generated each time.
NOTE:
A, B, C, D or E is only code for drugs instead of their real names. The units for these five
drugs are fixed. The operator may select the appropriate units according to the
convention of using these drugs. The rules for expressing the units are:
－ “mg” series units are fixedly used for drug A, B and C: g, mg, mcg.
－ “unit” series units are fixedly used for drug D: unit, k unit, m unit.
－ “mEq” is fixedly used for drug E.
Patient Weight:
After accessing the DRUG CALC window, the operator should enter the patient weight into the
first or the second item. The entered weight will be used as the independent data only for the
calculation of drug concentration.
