Description
Orthodose offers general practitioners and specialists a helpful informative tool for optimal pain management in their palliative patients.
Established in 2010 by and for palliative medicine practitioners, Orthodose has proven to be an innovative and valuable medical application for healthcare professionals.
Use Orthodose for calculating rescue doses & conversions, opioid & benzo switching, drug mix & matching, & more.
Orthodose is the all-in-one app for palliative care pain management.
ORTHODOSE - FEATURES:
-------------------------------------
• Rescue Dose Calculator*
• Opioid Switcher
• Corticosteroid Converter
• Opioid Intoxication Treatment Guidelines
• Benzo Switcher
• Mix & Match Drug Compatibility Checker*
• Subcutaneous Administration Compatibility Checker
RESCUE DOSE CALCULATOR*
An opioid rescue dose, also called a breakthrough dose, is an additional dose of analgesics administered preferably to patients with cancer in the event of an attack of paroxysmal pain.
Relied on by doctors & physicians since 2010, Orthodose is the only app of its kind that helps caregivers facilitate rescue dose treatment.
OPIOID SWITCHER
An Opioid Switcher is used to calculate equianalgesic doses for different opioids used in palliative care.
Orthodose comes complete with an opioid converter that takes alternative ratios derived from Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) into account.
Use Orthodose to calculating conversions for Morphine, Oxycodone, Hydromorphone, Tapentadol, Buprenorphine, Alfentanil, Fentanyl, Sufentanil, Codeine, Tramadol, Dihydrocodeine, Pethidine, Hydrocodone, Diamorphine, and Methadone.
CORTICOSTEROID CONVERTER
Corticodose, the built-in corticosteroid converter, allows you to compare the mineralocorticoid potency of most glucocorticoids used in palliative care, like methylprednisolone and dexamethasone.
Orthodose provides you with information on the half-life and mineralocorticoid potency of each corticosteroid free of charge.
OPIOID INTOXICATION TREATMENT GUIDELINES
Poorly prescribed or poorly used opioids may lead to serious and lethal complications.
Orthodose offers rapid access to FDA-compliant recommendations for the treatment of severe opioid intoxication.
BENZO SWITCHER
Substituting one Benzodiazepine is not customary, but sometimes required, particularly when switching from the oral to the subcutaneous and intravenous administration routes.
When doing so, determining the substitution dose without appropriate information can prove dangerous for patients.
Orthodose’s Benzo Switcher offers you a safer way to do this by using conversion ratios used by your peers, and by providing information about the respective bioavailabilities of benzodiazepines.
The Benzo Switcher works to partially mitigate the current lack of publications and data on this conversion, which is common in palliative care.
MIX & MATCH DRUG COMPATIBILITY CHECKER*
It is common practice in palliative care to administer treatment by means of a continuous infusion pump. Orthodose’s Mix & Match feature lets you check whether or not it is possible to use a particular combination of drugs in the same syringe.
Not all drug combinations are authorised. Mix & Match does not contain any information regarding drug interactions, the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of medicines.
SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION COMPATIBILITY CHECKER
When oral administration is impossible, the subcutaneous route is then often used in palliative care.
Orthodose’s Subcut features lets you check compatibility for subcutaneous administration & offers you a list of compatible medications.
*Features marked with a ‘*’ are only available for subscribers of the Pro version.
