ABSTRACT
These infusion guidelines were developed for use in critical care areas only. Most require close monitoring with titration to response, and are thus inappropriate for general ward areas. All calculations assume an adult weight of 70-80 kg. Paediatric resuscitation drug doses are available in Table 8.4 (p. 292) in Section VIII, Paediatric Emergencies. Other paediatric doses are available in any paediatric formulary. Readers are strongly advised to re-check all doses with another medical person before commencing therapy.
