Scope and validation
Independent paediatric anaesthesia and pharmacy validation is pending. The calculator covers selected doses and age references from 1 month to under 18 years. Use specialist guidance for neonates and former preterm infants when corrected age matters.
The optional age estimate uses Evelina London STRS bands and completed years after infancy. It is available from 1 month through 12 years. Confirm the weight and recalculate when a reliable measurement becomes available.
