Weight capture with two decimal places
With the MC³ Neonatology module, weight is displayed and recorded with two decimal places at all relevant points. This precision is crucial for safely and accurately dosing active ingredients for the smallest patients. As a result, medications can be tailored precisely to the individual weight, minimizing the risk of overdosing or underdosing.
Supplement to preparation volume
The module offers the option of defining a supplemental volume for the preparation of infusion solutions. This volume is automatically added to the final volume and displayed as "final effective volume". The supplement offers several advantages: it reduces the need to flush the infusion line, avoids additional volume administration, and allows flexible adjustments such as additional bolus doses or dose increases without interrupting the main treatment.
Final concentration on the label
In addition to stating "effective dose" and "final effective volume", the final concentration of the preparation is also displayed directly on the label. This concentration is calculated precisely for each active ingredient, rounded to two decimal places, and shown in mg/ml or µg/ml. This information on the label increases safety and transparency when administering the medication.
New dosing types (DGm and DGh)
The module provides new dosing types DGm and DGh, which have been specifically developed for the needs of neonatology. In dose calculation, the duration of administration is also taken into account. This allows an even more precise adjustment of medication administration to the specific requirements of newborns.
User benefits
- Precise medication: Weight capture with two decimal places allows for exact medication dosing, improving safety for newborns.
- Risk minimization: The supplemental volume and the clear indication of final concentration on the label minimize the risk of dosage errors and increase treatment safety.
- Flexible adjustment: New dosing types enable individual and flexible treatment plan adjustments, improving the quality of patient care.
