DripCalc - is a small (11k installed) calculator for figuring IV
medication doses for 16 common ICU drugs. Useful for anyone who spends
a lot of time with ICU patients. For example, if your patient is on
dobutamine at 4 cc/hr mixed as 1gm/250 cc and weighs 80 kg, DripCalc can
tell you that represents 3.33 mcg/kg/min. It knows which drugs are
measured in 'per kilo', and gives ranges and loading doses. DripCalc has
been tested for accuracy but is still in beta form -- read the
accompanying file for more information. Comments and bug reports are
appreciated. Freeware by Alan Simon (ads5@columbia.edu).
