An Algorithm for Perioperative Fluid Administration in Adults is available on the application, which has been aligned to local clinical practice. The algorithm uses clinical markers such as MAP and SVV, amongst other, to help ascertain whether fluid therapy and/or vasopressor is required.
An adjusted & ideal body weight calculator is also built into the application for easy calculation of the volume of fluid your patient requires.
Fluid composition tables are available to view the components of each intravenous solution. These are listed along with product registration numbers, and the volume that the solution is available in.
