ANMLDR Calcs

Description of ANMLDR Calcs

The reason for the program's creation was that I noticed that when I needed to calculate a value, I often had to search through many textbooks to actually find the formula that I needed. While creating the program, I usually had from 10-15 textbooks at my side. The formulas that I wanted to include in the program were scattered throughout these textbooks.

The ANMLDR-Calcs program is a way to have all of these formulas for conversions and calculations available in one place. . .in your hand. ANMLDR-Calcs will be both a time saver and a life saver for your patients. When they need you, you will not be searching for a formula in a textbook.

The program has formulas for over 60 different calculations and over 100 conversion factors.

• Absolute Reticulocyte count per microliter
• Acid Base Ratio
• Arterial Blood Pressure_Mean
• Bicarbonate/Base Deficit
• Blood Transfusion-Patient (Calculate the amount of blood needed)
• Blood X-fuse--Expected % PCV Increase (Find expected PCV increase when a given amount of blood is transfused)
• Body Surface Area Conversion (Finally! No more looking for this in a table or having to sign online)
• BUN:Creatinine Ratio
• Carbonic Acid from PCO2
• Clin Path Analytes-SI-->US (115+ different analyte values will now be easily converted)
• Clin Path Analytes-US-->SI (115+ different analyte values will now be easily converted)
• Constant Rate Infusions
• Corrected Calcium
• Corrected Chloride
• Creatinine Clearance
• Creatinine Ratio-Urine:Serum (No brainer, but hey. . .it doesn't take up much space)
• Dilutions (I'll bet that you hate to do these and are never sure if they are correct)
• Dissolved Oxygen in Plasma
• Donor-% Blood Volume Donated (Find out if the amount of blood to be donated is safe to withdraw from a donor)
• Donor-Maximum Blood Withdrawal (Find the maximum amount of blood that the animal can safely donate)
• ECF deficit (Find the % dehydration of an animal that has a known prior PCV)
• ECG (Count the number of small boxes and calculate the intervals)
• ECG Mean Elect. Axis (You will never need to plot the values again to find the MEA)
• Echo values--Canine and Feline (No need to search for tables in books or sign online to find these anymore)
• Enteral Nutrition-Based on the calculations used and recommended by Dr. Remillard
• Enteral Nutrition-Based on the calculations used and recommended by Dr. Wingfield
• Equine Estimated Weight (No I didn't forget the large animal vets out there this time :-)
• Estimated Platelets
• Fluids--24 hour needs, K + supplementation and drip rate calculator
• Fractional Excretion
• Fractional Shortening
• Gestation for dog:
  --Parturition date based on LH surge, diestrus or first breeding
  --Days before parturition based on US findings
• Gestation for cat: Based on Head diameter or body diameter
• Gestational Periods for 12 species based on breeding dates--Result is predicted date of parturition
• Glascow Coma Scale
• Henderson-Hasslebach Equation
• Kilograms to Pounds
• MCV-MCH-MCHC
• Mean Arterial Pressure
• Osmolal Gap
• Osmolality
• Parenteral Nut-Partial-Based on the calculations and recommendations of Dr. Freeman
• Parenteral Nutrition-Based on the calculations and recommendations of Dr. Remillard
• Parts Per Million (ppm) (Especially needed by large animal vets)
• pH
• Potassium Supplementation (Easily calculate the amount of supplement to add)
• Pounds to kilograms
• Proof Alcohol->Percent Solution (Great in an emergency for those antifreeze dogs--Use this and then use the dilutions calculator)
• Reticulocyte Production Index
• Reticulocyte-Corrected Percentage
• Serum Anion Gap
• Strong Ion Difference
• Temperature ¡C to ¡F (I'll bet that you can never remember which formula to use)
• Temperature ¡F to ¡C
• Units-->mls to administer
• Urinary Protein Loss--Estimated Daily Loss in the Urine
• Urine Protein:Creatinine Ratio (another no brainer but it took up little space)
• WBC--Corrected Count
• Equine Estimated Weight
• Parts Per Million (ppm)
• Vol of Rectangular/Square Trough
• Vol of Triangular Trough
• Volume of a Cylinder (Calculate the volume of a silo and then use the ppm calculator)
• Volume Truncated Cone (Pail)
