Abstract: A computerized method of providing patient treatment values in real time, including the steps of providing a computer database having a plurality of predetermined patient selection criteria, patient condition categories, and drug selection, dosing values and related information, and providing an input device in communication with the computer database for inputting one or more of the patient selection criteria, patient condition categories and drug selection and dosing values and related information. A computer display in communication with the computer database and the input device is provided for displaying precalculated dosing values based on one or more inputted patient selection criteria, patient condition categories and dosing values and related information. One or more of the patient selection criteria, patient condition categories and treatment type is input by the input device into the computerized database provided in step (a) and associating a unique identifier with the inputted information.

Abstract: A computerized method and related apparatus for providing drug infusion values to an infusion pump. A computer database is provided containing a plurality of predetermined drugs, precalculated indication-specific treatment dosages and precalculated infusion rates based on the weight or weight range of a patient to be infused with the drug. An input device in communication with the computer database is provided for inputting the patient's weight, and the drug to be administered. An electronic display communicates with the computer database for displaying a coded image representing a drug infusion rate for the drug to be administered based on the patient's weight. A drug infusion pump is provided and adapted for accepting a digital data input representing a drug infusion rate to be administered to the patient automatically in real time and for adjusting the drug infusion rate to correspond to the digital data input.
