PDA program


I am looking for an IV drip calculation program that I could install on my Dell pocket pc. I have the Davis Drug program but it tends to hang up occasionally. If you guys have any ideas they would be appreciated. (Drips like Amio, ect just want an easy calc method) Thanks

WWW.Epocrates.Com has a drug calculation program for free. Just download the free drug program and then go to the medtools section and download the drug calculator. It will be found under the doctor bag tab.

I've got to suggest that you merey calculate with a calculator. Never lets one down and continuously reinforces the basic math involved. Everyone here does know Lester's No Math Rule right...right... right?

MedCalc has some excellent formulas and it's also free. Click on the link below which is a Florida State Med School site for Med students to link to free PDA medical software. Scroll down about half a page under the medical calculators section and click on the MedCalc link and download for free.
