If available, the patient weight from the Patient Demographic window is entered automatically in the Drug Calculator window. To change the patient weight, select the Weight key then use the on-screen keypad to enter the correct value. This will not change the patient weight stored in the patient demographic information. Select the weight unit shown to change between lb and kg.

4When a specific drug is selected, the initial values for Dose, Amount and Volume are the configured Start values for this drug. The Rate is then calculated. If other values are required you can calculate any value by entering the remaining three values as described in ”Performing Calculations for a Non-Specific Drug”.

The column on the right of the Drug Calculator window shows either drug dose or dosage rate, whichever is the calculated value. The current calculated value is shown on a scale with the recommended range in green. If the current calculated value lies outside the recommended range it is shown in red.

If you have changed values in the Drug Calculator and you want to revert to the configured values, select Reset Values key at any time.
