My favorite resources

I most often use this resource for the following clinical situations:

​

1. Sodium disorders

   • Free Water Deficit in Hypernatremia

     • calculates free water deficit by estimated total body water in a patient with hypernatremia or dehydration.

   • Sodium Correction Rate in Hyponatremia and Hypernatremia

     • Calculates recommended IV fluid type, rate, and volume to correct hyponatremia or hypernatremia at desired rate depending on clinical scenario.

2. Goals of Care

   • GO Far Score

     • Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation Score

     • Predicts survival to discharge with good outcome after in-hospital cardiac arrest.

     • provides objective data to guide decision-making regarding code status​ based on individual patient risk factors

3. Opioid use

   • Opiate Conversion Calculator

     • Converts between different types and routes of opiates.

   • Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) Calculator

     • Calculates total daily morphine milligram equivalents.

4. Afib

   • CHADS-VASC -- Guides anticoagulation management​ by estimating stroke risk

5. PE/DVT

   • Well's score​ -- Calculates risk of PE/DVT​

6. Infection

   • SIRS/Sepsis/Septic Shock criteria​

7. DVT Prophylaxis -- PADUA score​
