About IV Drip Rate Calculator
This is an IV drip rate calculator for paramedics and nurses. Most of the features of this app are available on modern pumps - but modern pumps aren't always available.
Add a drug amount in mg, mcg, grams or units to a volume of fluid, select the dose ordered, and voila! The ml/hour necessary to deliver that dose is displayed. All parameters MUST be verified prior to infusion! However, if you accidentally enter an incorrect parameter, you may back-screen to correct it without having to re-enter each piece of data.
This program will NOT save preferences.
Also, drug manufacturers and distributors sometimes change their concentrations, therefore this program will NOT let you simply enter "Amiodarone" and perform all the calculations for you.
This is BetterWare (for lack of a better term) - if you think of any way to make it better, please share it with me so I can share it back with everyone.
Thanks!

What's Changed
Changes for version 1.4:
Some internal coding changes; fixed ML/HR rounding.
Changes for version 1.3:
Consolidated into two screens, ditched the finger-slide panels (it was cranky on some devices). Hopefully a better fit for newer device screens.

You could scroll the screen to the next couple fields while the keyboard is still on screen rather than entering some, closing the keyboard, scrolling down, then opening the keyboard again. Maybe phones or tablets with larger screens don't have this problem, but the Droid Mini makes the process somewhat slow. It would also be handy to show (or have the option) the drip in gtts/sec as well as gtts/min.

Used more than once. Great tool when I don't have time to write out the formula and do math.

Love all the options! Wish you had a mg/kg option to check dosing of IV meds.

Good for when I need to think faster while multi tasking. Anyone who needs an app to do a reverse calculation is an idiot.

I would also need it to use it in reverse order. Having the rate and kg of patient and trying to find the original dose. A reverse option would be ideal.

I am loving this app. IV Drip Rate Calculator is friendly in its use and very helpful when trying to figure out the rate at the bedside. ....

But I will. Very customizable administration rates. Looks like all bases are covered. Not just dopamine specific like some apps. All around useful, especially on ambulances where drips are done by eyeball.

Easy to use and gives you a number of choices ie infusion rates in mls and mg or mcg/kg/hr or min. Well done and keep it up.
