Goterum: IV Drip Calculator

Goterum calculates IV drip rates, infusion rates and medication doses in seconds, and helps you set the giving set with an animated drip and an audio metronome. Built by a physician for nurses and doctors on shift.

IV DRIP RATE CALCULATOR
- Volume, time and drop factor to drops per minute, mL/h and finish time
- Macro and micro drip sets, drop factors of 10, 15, 20 and 60 gtt/mL, or your own factor
- Visual calibrator: an animated drop falls at the calculated rate so you can match the drip chamber by eye
- Audio metronome, drop by drop
- Drip sync: tap the screen with each drop to measure the real rate

IV DOSE AND INFUSION CALCULATOR
- Weight-based (mcg/kg/min, mg/kg/h, U/kg/h) or fixed doses converted to mL/h and drops per minute
- 50 IV medications with reference dilutions, stability and route notes
- Vasopressors, inotropes, sedation, analgesia, antiarrhythmics, anticoagulation, insulin and antibiotics
- Create custom medications with your own concentrations

SHIFT MODE
- All your patients for the shift on one screen
- Vital signs with out-of-range alerts
- Fluid balance, urine output per kg and insensible losses
- Tasks and reminders per patient
- SBAR handoff report, exportable to PDF

Recent changes:
• Fixes infusion rates for unit-based doses (U/h, U/kg/h, U/kg/min) such as insulin and heparin. If you calculated these infusions with an earlier version, please recheck them.
• Fixes the finish time and alarm when the duration has decimals (for example, 1.5 h).
• NEWS2 now flags any single parameter scoring 3.
• Improvements to vancomycin, midazolam, labetalol and piperacillin-tazobactam, decimal comma input and translations.
