1. It is designed to provide easy accessibility and consistency to facilitate research, improve education and fill a void in availability of reference conversion data in clinical practice.
2. This Opioid Calculator Application is a tool for the calculation of total oral Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose (oMEDD).
3. A particular design feature of the app is that it simplifies the calculation of oMEDD in cases where combinations of opioids are used.
4. This opioid calculator is produced by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FPM ANZCA) which is the peak body responsible for the education, training, continuing professional development and maintenance of standards of clinical practice for specialist pain medicine physicians in Australia and New Zealand.
1. It is also helpful when a patient is on multiple opioid combinations to determine the total daily opioid dose and then work out what is an appropriate break through dose.Excellent and accurate conversions.!! It's so good it LITERALLY STOPS old consultants with unilaterally twitchy eyes, no ability to see the world in other's eyes, misogynistic, head of some BASIC PHYSICS TRAINING (BPT) - not that it was a life threatening mistake, however to have a patient's dose lowered is not ideal for their quality of life despite juniors doctors' protests.
2. IV hydromorphone is a problem.Conversion rates appropriate and app interface facile and self explanatoryIt's a great app for health workers to understand equianalgesic doses, and helps them be safer when having to administer an alternative opioid.
3. Gets opioid/mme ratio on spot & is only App to advise results must also consider age, weight, liver, renal, other meds, psych, desired outcome.
4. Very frustrating that it gets stuck on the first opioid choice you select in step 3 - won't change to another no matter how many times you tryBest app here I've used.
5. My Doctor uses it, I have pain issues and have been using opioid to control it.
6. are similar and how much I need of that med to match strength or increase dose slightly.Would be an excellent app if not for the bugs.
7. I have been on 3 different opioid tabs and with the app I can see which meds.
8. Making real changes with day to day care.Overall decent app but the conversion factors do not correlate with many other sources.
9. App tone is safe pain control w/ patient first.
10. Until decimal, enter dose as whole number & move decimal(s) in answer.
11. QED.Massive thanks, excellent guide Works so smoothly not even with a single problem.
