Opioid Calculator

This Opioid Calculator Application is a tool for the calculation of total oral Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose (oMEDD). A particular design feature of the app is that it simplifies the calculation of oMEDD in cases where combinations of opioids are used. It is designed to provide easy accessibility and consistency to facilitate research, improve education and fill a void in availability of reference conversion data in clinical practice. This opioid calculator is produced by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FPM ANZCA) which is the peak body responsible for the education, training, continuing professional development and maintenance of standards of clinical practice for specialist pain medicine physicians in Australia and New Zealand.

Would be an excellent app if not for the bugs. Very frustrating that it gets stuck on the first opioid choice you select in step 3 - won't change to another no matter how many times you try

Best app here I've used. App tone is safe pain control w/ patient first. Gets opioid/mme ratio on spot & is only App to advise results must also consider age, weight, liver, renal, other meds, psych, desired outcome. Does1+ narcs at same time. Until decimal, enter dose as whole number & move decimal(s) in answer. Am there, doing that. QED.

Overall decent app but the conversion factors do not correlate with many other sources. IV hydromorphone is a problem.

!! It's so good it LITERALLY STOPS old consultants with unilaterally twitchy eyes, no ability to see the world in other's eyes, misogynistic, head of some BASIC PHYSICS TRAINING (BPT) - not that it was a life threatening mistake, however to have a patient's dose lowered is not ideal for their quality of life despite juniors doctors' protests. Many people would rather die than be in pain. So get over yourself and get the app old man.

Wrong calculations. As a professional, calculations must be flawless. DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD MALPRACTICE INSURANCE!

No fentanyl IV dose calculation

Incredibly useful and effective app but needs a decimal place when entering doses

Crashes and won't launch

Does what it says. Nothing more.

Crashes on start

Quick & simple to use. Comprehensive opioid list except for Methadone for which a converter is most helpful.

Works well supported by relevent professional bodies in australia.

Clear and easy to use.

Programmer needs to cross check calculations prior to launch. Tramadol calculation is incorrect. It is based on 0.1 mg conversion, not 0.2.

A. G. u. Dec 22, 2016

The dose conversion factor used in this calculator for hydromorphone is 3 and it should be 4.
