How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the patient's actual body weight in kg — always use measured weight, not estimated weight, for emergency drug dosing.
- Select the Drug: 1 = Epinephrine (0.01 mg/kg), 2 = Atropine (0.02 mg/kg), 3 = Amiodarone (5 mg/kg), 4 = Naloxone (0.1 mg/kg).
- Review the calculated Dose in mg and Volume to Administer in mL at the standard concentration shown.
- Note the Maximum Dose — the calculated dose is automatically capped at the adult maximum.
- Verify the Concentration displayed matches the preparation available; always double-check doses with a second clinician before administration.
