Pediatric Dosage Calculations by Weight (Part 1: Is an Order 'Safe'?)

How do I calculate a 'customized' recommended dosage range for a patient when given his/her weight?

This is so much easier than the OWLR our school teaches!

wow. That was incredibly simple yet SUPER HELPFUL. My school has a video that they put out explaining DA dosage calculations and yours was BETTER!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is the only brake down I understand 100%

Thank theHeavenly sky for you! I have asked countless times. what makes a dose SAFE or not SAFE???? Thes other creators- i appreciate them, but they just do the math and never explain why the dose is safe or not!! Thank you so much

Literally was breaking down bc I couldn’t figure this out… my teachers just posted a PowerPoint for us to learn this. thank you

This would be SO much easier if you used the triangle technique to get the safe range instead of dimensional analysis.
Simply place the pt's weight (in kg) at the apex (top) of a triangle and the LOW safe dose on the bottom left corner of the triangle and the HIGH safe dose at the bottom right of the triangle and then just multiply down each "side" of the triangle...So it would be weight in kg X low dose then weigh in kg x high dose and you have the safe range. INSIDE the triangle, write either "DOSE" or DAY" depending upon the info in he question.

I can not see the second problem this is such a problem because your video was really helping me out on the first probleem

On the second example. You rounded to the tenth's. I thought hundredths was standard for pediatric dosages?

I had this one problem I didn't know if I should divide 1.5 into 6ml.  a nurse needs to administer 6 ml of X medicine in a solution of 150 ml. At what rate would you set transfusion of the medicine so the patient receives it at 1.5 ml/ min

This was SO helpful! Thank you so much!
