This program works amazingly well. However, I have found that if I input an amount of fluid to infused over a period of time in minutes and do it again over the equivalent hours, the hours version is correct, the minutes version is incorrect, not by much, but it gives a different answer. For example, in the "IV Volume Rate" tab, 250 mL in 90 minutes = 166.3 mL/hour. Then change minutes to hours: 250 mL in 1.5 hours = 166.7 mL/Hr. Regardless of which method is used, the end result should equal 166.7 mL/hour for this amount of fluid over the same period of time. As it is, either way will get you in the ball park, but "hours" will provide the most accurate answer. It's a great app for nursing students, I've used it quite a bit to double-check my calculations. Other programs I've tried require you calculate rate by "Hour" and do not offer you to do the calculations by inputting "minutes." It's just a handy thing when you have an order for something to go in over 110 minutes and you can't figure that to be 1.83 hours... I would expect that to be kind of rare, but... it's possible! Overall, I'm *very* impressed with this calculator! Rounding does affect output to whole mg amounts.
But extremely slow and difficult to use... not good for paramedics. Also it needs mcg/kg body weight calculations
Used to be an AMAZING app, but after I switched to galaxy 8 it failed me. Can't minimize it. Sad
This used to be a great app but now I am unable to use it. It cannot be minimized. It shows up too big to use and cannot find the settings to make it smaller
Great in theory. Sadly it is not accurate, especially with lower body weights and lower doses.
I take back my initial comment. Can't do mcg/kg/min, and it is inaccurate
I can not use it now. It is too big on my galaxy s 7 edge screen.
Its very useful mean to prevent the error during dose calculating very simple & accurate specially for nursing students!
Please fix. Screen is so zoomed in can't use. Tryed on multiple phones. Co-workers loved this app but now can't use.
Does not do dosages from TSP to ML. Don't waste your time
The whole screen is magnified and i am not able to calculate anything ib it
I jst bought metronidazole 125mg/5ml suspension ..and i dnt know exactly the dosage coz its for my one year and 6months baby.. But now i find ds spp its really great..
Rounds up or down will not calculate with decimals
Keeps freezing at I accept scream have to uninstall and reinstall
I'm a nursing student who need to take med math calculation every quarter, your app is a great tool for practicing and checking your calculations. Thank you for your thoughtful act, in creating this app. Job well done!! :-)
Neat idea, and the calculator works, but what hospital doesn't use decimals? Add the decimal and you'll be in much better shape to get great ratings.
When opened there is nothing but a white screen and scroll bars.
There's not a . Decimal and I should be able to choose ml,g,mcl,l etc. Great idea but doesn't work.
Really easy to use great app thanks Marie
Very handy when I need to calculate meds.
Thank you for this app. It helps.
XD,i need the codes
Great for simple calculations but wanting more
The apps shows too big...i can't use it now. Please fix this. Tnx
Still learning to work it
Useless app. No decimal point. I can't calculate doses (strengths such as 0.5mg or 1.5g and 0.1ml )
Great app if you are a nursing student....
Does not work on galaxy 8+ . Shows an exploded view of the screen (one-eighth of the screen). Why not and how can I inform someone and get the application corrected.. I like the functionality of the application but displays in double size only displaying a small portion of the screen making it unusable...
