CRI Calculators
I have made some interactive calculators to simplify getting doses for analgesia CRIs for patients.
If using these, please ensure all your inputted information is accurate and use these as a guide and reference only - all medications must be prescribed by the veterinary surgeon.

FENTANYL CRI CALCULATOR
The recommendation is to give your loading dose and then begin the CRI no more than 5-10 minutes after the loading dose is given. Fluid rates given here are a standard maintenance rate so shouldn't overload your patient, but always be mindful of fluid rates, especially with patients with heart conditions.
​
If you like these calculators and want other medications adding then send me a message and I will add on others (e.g. lidocaine, MethLK etc.)
