๐Ÿ—ƒA FEW POINTS WHICH CAN MAKE AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST's LIFE EASIER๐Ÿ—ƒ


✔️CONVERSION OF SI UNITS TO NON SI UNITS

๐Ÿ”€ kilo Pascal to mm of  Hg ➡️multiply with 7.5

๐Ÿ”€ kilo Pascal to cm of H2O ➡️multiply with 10.2

๐Ÿ”€ blood sugar from mmol/l to mg/dl ➡️multiply with 18 

#SIunits , #nonSIunits

✔️AN EASIER FORMULA FOR CALCULATING 'IDEAL BODY WEIGHT'(IBW)

The Lemmens formula

Ideal weight (in kilograms) = 22 x (Height in meters)x2

✔️FORMULA FOR CALCULATING PLASMA OSMOLALITY (If using SI UNITS)

[2x (Na)] + [BUN] + [glucose]

✔️FORMULA FOR CALCULATING PLASMA OSMOLALITY (If using NON SI UNITS)

[2x (Na)] + [BUN / 2.8] + [glucose / 18]
