Specific gravity
Wt of substance (g) / wt of equal volume of water (g) or SG = g/mL
mOsmol/L =
(Wt of substance (g/L) / MW (g/mole)) * (# of particles) * 1000
E =
(58.5)(i) / (mw of drug)(1.8)
Mols =
g/MW
mEq =
(mg x valence) / MW
EN: Carbs, protein = ? Kcal/gram
4 kcal/gm
EN: fat = ? Kcal/gm
9 kcal/gm
PN: dextrose = ? Kcal/gm
3.4 kcal/gm
PN: AA = ? Kcal/gm
4 kcal/gm
PN: ILE 10% / 20% / 30% = ? ? ? Kcal/ml
1.1 / 2 / 3 kcal/mL
Fluid needs when wt > 20kg =
1,500 mL + (20mL)(wt in kg - 20)
Can estimate using 30-40mL/kg/day
TEE =
BEE x activity factor x stress factor
Grams of nitrogen from protein
Nitrogen (g) = protein intake (g) / 6.25
Corrected calcium
Alb < 3.5
Ca corrected = Ca + [(4.0 - alb) * (0.8)]
BMI =
Wt (kg) / (ht (m) ^2) or (wt (lbs) / (ht (in) ^2)) x 703
IBW =
Males = 50kg + (2.3)(# of inches over 5 ft)
Females = 45.5g + (2.3)(# of inches over 5 ft)
AdjBW =
IBW + 0.4(TBW - IBW)
Dehydration =
BUN:SCr > 20:1
CrCl =
((140 - age) / (72 x SCr)) x wt (kg) (x 0.85 if female)
Anion Gap =
Na - Cl - HCO3
