Every parenteral nutrition formulation in a single app
Fast, precise and safe calculation of parenteral nutrition infusion rates
Consulting package inserts, memorizing densities and working through rule-of-three calculations are part of the daily routine for anyone who prescribes parenteral nutrition. NPT Calc simplifies that process by bringing together the leading formulations on the market and automatically calculating the infusion rate needed to reach the patient's caloric and protein targets.
The daily-practice problem
There are many parenteral nutrition formulations on the market today, each with different densities.
In the hospital routine, this means:
- Repeatedly consulting package inserts
- Memorizing compositions
- Doing manual calculations
- Recalculating rates whenever the bag changes
Beyond consuming time, this process increases the chance of operational error.
