EBMcalc Pulmonary 23.3

EBMcalc Pulmonary is a robust resource designed for healthcare professionals, specifically pulmonary specialists. Over its 25-year evolution, it has garnered significant acclaim for its comprehensive suite of medical calculators and clinical decision-making tools.

It is imperative for users of EBMcalc not to rely solely on the app's content for medical decisions without consulting a qualified healthcare professional.

The EBMcalc Pulmonary module includes a wide array of relevant formulas, clinical criteria sets, and decision tree tools that are integral to daily practice in pulmonary medicine. Key equations available in this module encompass:

• A-a Gradient
• a/A Ratio
• AaPO2 Correction for FIO2
• Base Excess Determination
• Carbon Dioxide Production
• Closing Capacity to Total Lung Volume Capacity
• Closing Capacity
• Closing Volume to Vital Capacity Ratio
• Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) corrected for anemia
• Epoprostenol (Flolan) Infusion Rate Calculator
• Functional Residual Capacity
• Henderson-Hasselbach Equation
• In-Flight PaO2 Estimation (using PFT's)
• Inspiratory Capacity
• International Normalized Ratio of Prothrombin Time (INR)
• Lung Age Estimation for Smoking Cessation Counseling
• Lung Volume Multicalc
• Mean Vascular Pressure (systemic or pulmonary)
• Nasal Canula Oxygen Fractional Inspired O2 (FIO2) Estimate
• Oxygen Consumption
• Oxygen Content of Arterial Blood
• Oxygen Saturation Estimate from PO2
• Oxygenation Index (OI)
• paO2 / FIO2 Ratio (for MODS Calculation)
• Peak Expiratory Flow Prediction
• PFT Adjusted Predicted Values across demographics
• Pneumothorax Degree of Collapse
• Predicted postoperative FEV1 following lung resection surgery (both anatomical and perfusion methods)
• Pulmonary Vascular Resistance
• Total Lung Capacity

The module also features numerous clinical criteria sets, such as:

• 6-Year Lung Cancer Risk Estimation in Current and Past Smokers
• BODE Index for COPD Survival Prediction
• Community-Acquired Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) for Adults
• DVT Probability Assessment (5 models)
• Pneumonia Mortality Prediction (4 models)

Additionally, the decision trees provided cover critical evaluation pathways, including:

• Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation
• Asthma Hospitalization One Year Risk Analysis

The interface is designed to foster an environment conducive to practicing, teaching, and learning medicine through a foundation of evidence-based principles, ensuring usability and accessibility for medical professionals seeking reliable tools for patient care.
