VetPDA Calcs

VetPDA Calcs contains 21 useful calculators for Veterinary Medicine students and professionals. All calculators have been rewritten to support different iPhone sizes (including the iPhone X). Included Calculators: • A-a Gradient - The Alveolar-arterial gradient (A-a gradient), is a measure of the difference between the alveolar concentration of oxygen and the arterial concentration of oxygen. It is used in diagnosing the source of hypoxemia • Anesthesia Drug Calc - Calculates recommended dosage (based on weight) for many drugs commonly used in anesthesia. • Anion Gap - used to differentiate the causes of metabolic acidosis • Blood Gas Analysis - Analyze blood gas measurements to determine acidosis/alkalosis and metabolic vs. respiratory causes • Bicarbonate Dosing - Recommended bicarbonate dosing to counteract acidosis • Body Surface Area - Given a body weight, determine the surface area. Used to determine drug dosing • Combining Fluids - There are a number of drugs in a clinical setting that come as a percent solution. Some examples include 50% dextrose, 25% mannitol, and 2% lidocaine. This calculator assists in manipulating these fluids to alternate percentages. • CRI - Constant Rate of Infusion calculator. Given a weight, volume, rate of fluid flow and desired rate of drug infusion, determines how much of the drug to add to the running fluid. • Dosing Calculator - Use this generic calculator to determine the calculated dose using the weight, dose, and concentration. NOTE: this calculator does NOT provide recommended dosing -- that's up to you :) • Drip Rates - Assists in setting the appropriate fluid delivery rate when using a 'drip set' • Echo Values - calculates normal cardiac dimensions in dogs < 70 kg • Energy Requirements - Using data from 2006 NRC guide, determine energy requirements at various life stages and health statuses for dogs and cats • Equine Fluids - Determine volume of various fluid types based on body weight • Fluid Plan - Assists in the generation of a fluid plan to correct dehydration and ongoing fluid losses due to vomiting or diarrhea. • Fractional Excretion of Sodium - Can be used to assist in the diagnosis of some causes of renal disease • Maintenance Fluids - determines how much fluid an animal needs on a daily basis • Osmolality - Measures the concentration of substances such as sodium, potassium, urea, and glucose in blood. • Percentage Solutions - When you need to deliver a certain quantity of a drug that is suspended in solution you can use this calculator to determine how much volume of the solution you should give. • Temperature Conversion - converts F - C and C - F • Transfusion - Given a current and desired PCV, determine the necessary volume of donor blood product • Weight Conversion - converts between kg / g / lbs / oz Other Features: • Information sheets for calculators describe how and why to use each calculator
