Medical Calculators Now Built Into Standards of Care

In the middle of a case, even routine clinical calculations can slow you down. Dosing based on body surface area or lean body weight means stopping, hunting down the right calculator, getting your number, and then finding your place again. It only takes a minute, but it breaks your focus when you need it most.

Now, it doesn’t have to.

Medical Calculators Are Now in Standards

We’ve added medical calculators directly into Standards, so you can get the answer you need and get right back to your patient. We’re starting with two calculators clinicians use most often:

Body Surface Area (BSA)

When dosing medications based on body surface area, accuracy matters. The BSA calculator gives you a precise surface area in m², without leaving the case or double-checking your math elsewhere.

Lean Body Weight (LBW)

In overweight patients, actual body weight isn’t always the right basis for dosing. This calculator uses the patient’s weight and body condition score to estimate lean body weight, helping you dose more safely and effectively.

What’s Coming Next

This is just the beginning. More medical calculators are on the way:

CRI calculator: Calculate rates for continuous infusions
CPR drug dosing: Get dosing support during emergencies
Free water deficit: Estimate the deficit and plan correction
IRIS staging: Stage patients with renal disease
NSAID toxicity: Assess toxicity risk based on dose and weight
Nutrition: Calculate caloric and nutritional needs

Like everything in Standards, these calculators are built and reviewed by veterinary specialists and pharmacists, so you can trust the result.

Fewer Interruptions, Clearer Decisions

Switching tools mid-case might seem small, but it’s enough to break your momentum. Standards is designed to keep everything in one place, so you can stay focused on the patient in front of you.

Instead of jumping between resources, you’ll find veterinary diagnostic and treatment guidelines, procedure support, differentials, drug information, and client handouts, all in one place.

Medical calculators are now live in the Standards on web and mobile. If you’re already a subscriber, you can start using them today. New to Standards? Watch a free demo to see it in action.
