 Description:
 DripCalc - is a small (11k installed) calculator for figuring IV medication
 doses for 16 common ICU drugs. Useful for anyone who spends a lot of time
with ICU patients. For example, if your patient is on dobutamine at 4 cc/hr
mixed as 1gm/250 cc and weighs 80 kg, DripCalc can tell you that represents
3.33 mcg/kg/min. It knows which drugs are measured in 'per kilo', and gives
ranges and loading doses. DripCalc has been tested for accuracy but is
still in beta form -- read the accompanying file for more information.
