20 Calculation
20.1 Calculation Overview
The monitor provides calculation functions. The calculated values, which are not directly measured, are
computed based on the values you provide. The calculation function is independent of other monitoring
functions and can therefore be used for patients being monitored by other monitors. Any operation in a
calculation dialog does not affect the patient monitored by the current monitor.
You can perform the following calculations:
■ Drug calculations
■ Hemodynamic calculations
■ Oxygenation calculations
■ Ventilation calculations
■ Renal calculations
20.2 Calculation Safety Information
WARNING
• Decisions on the choice and dosage of drugs administered to patients must always be made by the
physician in charge. The drug calculations are based on the values input; it does not check the
plausibility of the calculation performed.
• Check that the entered values are correct and the calculated values are appropriate. Mindray
assumes no responsibility for any consequences caused by wrong entries and improper operations.
20.3 Drug Calculations
20.3.1 Performing Drug Calculations
To perform drug calculations, follow this procedure:
1. Access the drug calculator by either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Calculations quick key → select the Drug tab.
◆ Select the Main Menu quick key → from the Calculations column select Drug.
2. Set
Drug Name and Patient Category. If the dose of drug is weight dependent, you must input the
patient’s weight. The dose calculation program has a library of commonly used drugs, while Drug A
through Drug E are user defined.
3. Enter the known values, for example
Drug Amount and Solution Volume.
4. Select Calculate. The calculated values are indicated by red arrows.
NOTE
• If available, the patient category and weight from the Patient Demographics dialog are
automatically entered when you first access drug calculation. You can change the patient category
and weight. This will not change the patient category and weight stored in the patient demographic
information.
