Getting the latest details from the App Store…
Dextrose Calc does the glucose maths at the cot side: what concentration to prescribe, how to make the bag, and what the baby is actually receiving. Built by a neonatal doctor, for anyone prescribing glucose and feeds. GIR CALCULATOR Enter weight, target GIR and the daily glucose volume — the concentration you need appears as you type. NEW: work the other way round. Enter the concentration running now and see the GIR it delivers. Tells you whether it can go through a peripheral line or needs…

Version 4.0 · 16 Sep 2026 · 21 days ago
A rebuilt app, faster to use and set up for your unit. Results as you type. No Calculate button, and errors appear under the field instead of as pop-ups. Find the GIR from a concentration you're already running, as well as the other way round. Volumes your way: mL/day, mL/kg/day or mL/h. More on the GIR result: infusion rate in mL/h, glucose in g/kg/day, total fluids in mL/kg/day, approximate osmolarity, and a warning above 12 mg/kg/min. Adjust a glucose bag you already have — how much to remove and how much to add — as well as making a new one. Nutrition totals in kcal/kg/day, mL/kg/day of fluid, and carbohydrate, amino acids and lipid in g/kg/day. Feeds entered per feed (5 mL every 2 hours) or as mL/kg/day, plus fortified milk and other feeds from the label values. Clinical defaults for your unit: peripheral line limit, the stock bags you carry, breast milk energy, and lipid and amino acid solution strengths. Copy a summary of any calculation straight into the notes. Dark mode, following your phone or set by hand. Weight entered once, shared by the GIR and Nutrition screens. Two-pane layout on iPad, with inputs and results side by side. The formulas, thresholds and references the app uses are listed in Settings. Fixed: added nutrition sources sometimes didn't appear, and the mixer stayed silent for out-of-range strengths. Changed: lipid is now counted at 10 kcal/g, matching a 20% emulsion at 2 kcal/mL, so calorie totals are slightly higher than before.
