Have you given it in a quick situation? How did you figure the bolus and then the drip? Is there a table I can use, online? Can you give me any information? Much appeciated.

I carry a program called "Infusicalc" on my Palm device. Preprogrammed with all of my hospitals standard concentrations. I can give you a drip rate for any infusion/bolus you can throw at me in about 5 seconds. Cannot live without it now!

If you are interested, when I get off work, I can try and cut and paste the Brevibloc infusion rate chart that we use where I work. Makes it pretty handy if you have a weight on the patient.

No problem, Butternut. Hopefully things will cooperate when I get home and I'll be able to post it or you can PM me with your email addy and I'll send it to you.

We also have a preprinted page for Brevibloc (and many others). I could scan and send also. PM your e-mail and I will send this week.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. In order to get the table, I had to recreate the whole thing, if you PM me your email butternut.....I'll jet that chart right off to you.
