Abstract: A system to electronically assist health care professionals quickly and efficiently calculate dosages and infusion rates for emergency drugs. The system comprises a portable hand-held calculator incorporating user input keys dedicated to commonly prescribed drugs, quick entry of default drug values, and toggles between at least two operational modes, specifically between adult and pediatric modes. In addition, the system alarms on the entry of “out-of-range” drug values, titrates, immediately ascertains compatibilities between drugs, and allows the updating of stored drug parameters by means of physical or wireless data ports.

Abstract: Computer-calculator means are provided for calculating the appropriate dosage for intravenously administered therapeutic agents commonly used in emergency care situations for human patients. Alarm means are incorporated within the computer-calculator to advise and warn of improper data input which might result in an improper dosage and cause harm to a patient.
