Don't Cry, It's Just a CRI; Making Medical Math Make Sense

Pull out your pencil, paper and calculator! This one-hour lecture starts with a review of the basics of medical math including dose calculations, percent solutions and dilutions. Building on those skills we move on to calculating Constant Rate Infusions. Real life scenarios are used to help illustrate and practice math concepts.

At the end of this lecture the participant should be able to:

● Identify which equations to use when calculating medications

● Explain how to titrate constant rate infusions

● Discuss how to calculate constant rate infusions of multiple drugs
