About the Drip Sheets Calculator:

This calculator creates drip sheets for pediatric patients and may be useful for settings such as pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), ambulances, etc. Use of the sheets should be self-explanatory to those who may have a need for them. They were intended to be printed out and taped to the patient's bedside in the event of an emergency.

These drip sheets are available for use free of charge and were written by David Hanauer, MD under the direction of Marcelo Auslender, MD, and were originally used at the New York University Medical Center. The drips sheets were originally located on the web servers of the New York Univeristy (NYU) Medical Center. Please send any comments, corrections, suggestions for improvements or modifications, etc. to David Hanauer (email: hanauer@umich.edu). Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

These drip sheets were written using JavaScript. While some have requested that they be modified for PDAs such as Palm Pilots or Pocket PCs, that will have to wait until the devices either support JavaScript better or until I learn how to program in a computer language that can be used on those devices.
