title: A BASIC program for calculation of often needed parameters in intensive care medicine.
abstract: For rational therapeutic decision making in intensive care patients with artificial ventilation and the use of vasoactive drugs, parameters such as pulmonary shunt, cardiac index and other determinants of gas exchange and circulation are often necessary. For this purpose, a BASIC program suitable for microcomputers was established which facilitates control of therapy. The formulae needed for the calculations are described, and the program is discussed.
