Ventilator Tidal Volume Calculator (Predicted Body Weight)
Ventilator Tidal Volume Calculator (Predicted Body Weight): a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Ventilator Tidal Volume Calculator (Predicted Body Weight) is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering clinical dosing and scores.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: sex, height (cm or in) and target mL/kg.
Outputs: predicted body weight (kg), target tidal volume (mL) and range at 4 to 8 mL/kg.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: ARDSNet predicted body weight: male PBW = 50 + 0.91*(height_cm - 152.4); female PBW = 45.5 + 0.91*(height_cm - 152.4). Lung protective tidal volume is 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight, with a range of 4 to 8 mL/kg.
