Home Forums Active Threads This Week

Thanks Chris,I did get through to support and am in the process of working with them.

Version 12.3 is available for beta testing, think I'll contact AC and see about the "upgrade". I hope some of the problems we have seen are fixed. I am not interested in the self scheduling feature, electronic sign in or auto import of the intake forms for an extra $135 per month. I wonder if they will include it for free during the beta test so I can see if it is worth that amount of money every month? I'll try and set something up this week with support and post back the response.

Hey just looked at the AC website. They are aware of the meds update problem. Guess all our emails aren't working and no one from AC is allowed to post here anymore. Oh and it's not on the sign in for AC this morning either, but hey if you want to Beta Test 12.3 it is available, that is the message you get with sign in.

A little late to the response but..
Many meds fall into 1 teaspoon per 10 or 20 mg/kg

125/5 and 250/5 are supposed to be q 8 hour doses but I have seen ERs do q 12
Thus you are left with 400/5 (or 600/5 as well with augmentin)
dosing is 25-50 mg/kg/dose (amox, sl lower with augmentin)
This will roughly equal 1 teaspoon(5mL) per 10 kg / dose (40mg/kg)

acetaminophen (160/5) dosing is 10-15 mg per dose so 3-4 mL/10kg
(or for > 24# 1 tsp/10 kg multiples (1.5 for 36#)) (or 1 tsp per 12kg)

Ibuprofen (100/5) is 5-10 mg/kg so again 1 teaspoon (5ml) per 10 Kg

azithromycin 10mg/kg day 1 and 5mg/kg day 2-5 The most common formulation is 200mg/kg or
1 teaspoon per 20 kg

There are exceptions to this, of course but I have found this the easiest way to calculate drug doses
