Calculators

“ROBIN” - Resuscitation and Tube Feed Calculator

Developed by Thomas Pshak, MD and Arek Wiktor, MD

Instructions:

Resuscitation Calculator – Plug in data for M/F, age, height, weight, %TBSA, time and fluids given prior to BICU arrival; the calculator will show you projected Parkland resuscitation rates and adjusted Parkland rates (taking into account time from injury and fluids given). Minimum maintenance fluids are also calculated for you. It’s that simple!!!

Tube Feed Calculator – Follow the 4 easy steps. First, pick your tube feed formula from the drop down menu, next choose you desired kCal/kg goal (see the recommended ranges listed for you). Third, answer if the patient is mechanically ventilated. Finally, enter the desired protein goal g/kg (see the recommended ranges listed for you.)

** On the bottom left hand side you will see calculated total BSA (m2), ideal and adjusted body weights for referencing**
