Description

Drug name

Usually just one word, however, if you wish to enter multiple models for the same drug, for different patient populations, then enter two words. For example, if you have a gentamicin model that you use for burn patients you would enter Gentamicin burn.

Vd

Volume of distribution, Liters per kg.

CF

Vd correction factor for obesity, ie., what fraction of excess body fat over lean body weight is used in the Vd calculation, ie, a reflection of the drug's lipid solubility.

Target peak

Target peak mcg/ml

Peak predict time

Time, in minutes after the end of the infusion, at which the targeted peak occurs.

Target trough

Target trough mcg/ml

Infusion

Standard infusion length in minutes.

EI dose

Daily dose for extended-interval aminoglycoside dosing, otherwise leave at zero.

Model calculates

Kel or CL

Select which parameter calculated by the regression equation:

  Kel or CL = Nonrenal + (CrCl x Renal)

Renal

The slope of the regression equation for Kel or CL:

Kel or CL = Nonrenal + (CrCl x Renal)

Nonrenal

The y-intercept of the regression equation for Kel or CL.
