Calculating Iron IV dose and LBW
I found out this morning when calculating an iron dextran iv dose using the formula in lexi {Dose (mL) = 0.0442 (desired Hgb - observed Hgb) x LBW + (0.26 x LBW)} that LBW is the same as IBW. There is also a calculator for iron dosing in GlobalRph.com that is easier and very helpful.
