DDextrose Calc - GIR Calculator

About

What Dextrose Calc - GIR Calculator is

Easily calculate glucose (dextrose) volumes based on the target glucose infusion rate (GIR). The app has 3 screens/calculators: 1) GIR Calculator: allows to calculate amounts of glucose required to achieve a specific GIR. For example, a neonate weighing 2000 grams needs to achieve a GIR of 6.5 using 100mL glucose, the app will help you to do the calculation in seconds. 2) Glucose mixer: helps to quickly make up any concentration of glucose using any specified volumes. Example: helps to make up 180mL of glucose 12% - the app will tell you how many ml of glucose 5% are needed and how many mL of glucose 25% (or any other higher or less concentrations available at your unit) 3) Calories Calculator: helps to calculate KCALs and sugar load (GIR) of different feeding options.
