["MEDDOS", a computer program for constructing treatment plans in pediatric intensive care units].
We attempted to facilitate the establishment of treatment regimens in paediatric intensive care units by means of a computer programme and to increase drug safety by standardization of dosage and avoidance of calculation errors. The programme has the following features: the user can enter drugs, oral nutrition and i.v. solutions into data files. Drugs and solutions can be chosen from these data files for the individual patient. Drug dosage is calculated from preselected dosages and the patient's data for individual dosage regimens. The desired intake of fluid volume and glucose can be chosen. Due to this preselection the quantity and concentration of the glucose solution is calculated. The total daily intake of electrolytes, calories, carbohydrates, protein and fat is shown on a balance sheet. Complete schedules can be saved and, if needed, restored for other patients.
