ObesiDose calculates: - Total body weight (TBW - Ideal body weight (IBW) - Adjusted (or corrected) body weight (ABW) - Lean body mass (LBM Set height and weight and ObesiDose calculates body mass index (BMI) and all weights listed above. Settings allow to define units for height (cm or feet/inches) and weight (kg or stone/lbs or lbs). NOTE: ObesiDose currently lists medication used in anaesthesia.
