Formula Explained

The ATI dosage calculation uses the following formula:

Dosage Adjustment = (Desired Level - Current Level) × (Patient Weight / 70)

Where:

Desired Level = Target medication concentration
Current Level = Current medication concentration
Patient Weight = Weight in kilograms (normalized to 70 kg for standard dosing)

The result provides the recommended dosage adjustment to achieve the desired therapeutic range.

Worked Example

Consider a patient with:

Weight: 80 kg
Desired medication level: 100 mg
Current medication level: 70 mg

Calculation:

Dosage Adjustment = (100 - 70) × (80 / 70) = 30 × 1.142 ≈ 34.28 mg

The recommended dosage adjustment is approximately 34.28 mg to reach the desired medication level.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides a dosage adjustment recommendation. Positive values indicate an increase in medication, while negative values suggest a decrease. The result should be used in conjunction with clinical judgment and patient-specific factors.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before making medication adjustments based on calculator results.
