InvenTech Apps

The prostanoids are used to treatpulmonaryarterial hypertension (PAH) and are given by continuousinfusion.Setting up the pump requires a complex calculation. TheCliniCalcapp aims to assist calculation of prostanoid doses/flowrates.The app includes algorithms for the following medications:1) Epoprostenol (Flolan ®, prostacyclin, PGI2) intravenous,usingCADD-PRIZM pump2) Treprostenil (Remodulin ®) intravenous using Chrono-5 pump3) Treprostenil (Remodulin ®) subcutaneous using CADD-MS3 pump andIJet pumpIt is possible to calculate a pump flow-rate (ml/hr) fromthedose (ng/kg/min) and vice versa.The 'opti-flow' algorithm aims to give the physician anoptimizeddrug prescription and flow rate to minimizesyringe/cassettechanges for the patient.
