One of the most valuable resources for a doctor, especially in emergencies, is having clear and immediate therapeutic schemes available. However, calculating the infusion rate of certain drugs can take time and be prone to errors—precisely when speed is crucial. This app allows you to instantly calculate the infusion rate of the main drugs used in emergency care: simply select the required dosage and, if needed, the patient’s weight. Each drug includes: • An interactive therapeutic chart with indications of possible boluses and infusion rates (ml/h) for different dilution modes, both with a pump and gravity infusion. • A concise yet comprehensive information sheet with indications, contraindications, warnings, and references. What’s New in Version 4.0 • Interactive infusions: start infusions directly from the app and synchronize drop speed to precisely adjust the rate even without a pump. • Personal notes: add and manage your own notes for each drug. • Custom infusions: configure tailored infusions by adjusting parameters and dilutions. • Automatic drug updates: saved drugs are automatically checked and updated at launch and can be manually refreshed with a simple pull. • Improved drug creation system: the interface for creating your own drugs is now more intuitive and precise. • Share with colleagues: send your therapeutic schemes directly. • Submit your schemes: contribute to improving the app by sending your drug setups. • Improved interface: updated graphics with clearer section separation, new backgrounds, and gradients for a more comfortable reading experience. • Guided tutorials: new interactive guides to help you make the most of each feature. IMPORTANT: This application is intended exclusively for medical professionals. The content is not a substitute for medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.
