Dextrose Calc - GIR Calculator analisi dell'app per 19 gennaio

Easily calculate glucose (dextrose) volumes based on the target glucose infusion rate (GIR). The app has 3 screens/calculators: 1) GIR Calculator: allows to calculate amounts of glucose required to achieve a specific GIR. For example, a neonate weighing 2000 grams needs to achieve a GIR of 6.5 using 100mL glucose, the app will help you to do the calculation in seconds. 2) Glucose mixer: helps to quickly make up any concentration of glucose using any specified volumes. Example: helps to make up 180mL of glucose 12% - the app will tell you how many ml of glucose 5% are needed and how many mL of glucose 25% (or any other higher or less concentrations available at your unit) 3) Calories Calculator: helps to calculate KCALs and sugar load (GIR) of different feeding options. For example, if a patient is receiving 10mLs per day of preterm formula, plus 100mLs of glucose 8%, plus 5 grams of protein, plus 6 grams of lipid - the app will calculate the summary of KCAL and GIR from all of the above inputs. Important: This app is mainly directed at PICU or NICU medical professionals and is not intended for public use. It shouldn’t be used alone in making medical decisions, although can be used to confirm your already made calculations.
