TO DETERMINE DOSES OF DRUGS IN

METHODS:


Empirical - your dose of the drug calculated for
children of different age groups based on the effect
which was observed from the drug in varying
doses.
The method is based on the selection of doses
that are determined by coeficients or special
formulas.
EMPIRICAL WHEN THE DOSE OF MEDICATION TO REDUCE
CHILDREN FROM ADULT DOSES ACCORDING TO AGE. IT IS
NOT QUITE ACCURATE, AS CHILDREN THE SAME AGE HAVE
DIFFERENT BODY WEIGHT, LODGING, MEALS, ETC.
ACCORDING TO THE METHOD PRESCRIBED TO CHILDREN:
LESS THAN 1 YEAR - 1 / 24 AND 1 / 12 OF THE ADULT
DOSE;
FROM 1 TO 2 YEARS - 1 / 12;
FROM 2 TO 4 YEARS - 1 / 6;
FROM D 4 TO 6 YEARS - 1 / 4;
FROM 6 YEARS TO 7 YEARS - 1 / 3;
FROM 7 YEARS TO 14 YEARS - 1 / 2;
FROM 14 TO 18 - 3 / 4;

According to SPU dose for children can be expected depending
on age, taking the dose per unit.
For calculation drug dose can apply the formula:
 Child dose =dose of adult • weight of body of the child
70
 Child dose = dose adult • child's age in years
Child Age in years + 12
To calculate dose of sedative and narcotic drugs:
 Child dose = B (4 • а)+ 20 ,
100
B - dose for adult
a - the child's age in years.
