UTILIZATION OF HAND-HELD PROGRAMMABLE CALCULATORS FOR RAPID BEDSIDE COMPUTATION OF PHYSIOLOGIC-PHARMACOLOGIC VARIABLES AND PROGNOSTIC INDICES DURING MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT

摘要

This study describes five programs that may be used on compact, low-cost programmable calculators with adequate memory and sufficient numbers of program steps to compute cardiorespiratory variables. These short programs are especially useful in the operating room and at the bedside.
