Adjusted body weight = ideal body weight + 0.3 (actual body weight - ideal body weight)... 

Dose based on actual body weight (even in obese patients)... 

Use actual body weight for all calculations. Adjusted body weight (ABW) may be used for obese patients (greater than 130% of IBW). ABW = IBW + (actual body weight - IBW) x 0.7. 

Refer the patient for nutritional counseling if there is decreased caloric intake and weight loss. Compare actual body weight to ideal body weight. 

SC dosage regimens are based on body weight and vary depending upon the product and indication. The recommended doses (based on actual body weight) for treatment of DVT with or without PE are ... 

Ideal body weight provides a population reference standard against which the actual body weight can be compared to detect both under- and overnutrition (Table 57-1). See Table 57-2 for body weight equations.

Temporary control of rapid ventricular rate in atrial flBrillation or flutter, rapid conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia to normal sinus rhythm IV push Initially, 0.25 mg/kg actual body weight over 2 min. May repeat in 15 min at dose of 0.35 mg/kg actual body weight. Subsequent doses individualized. IV Infusion / fter initial bolus injection, may begin infusion at 5-10 mg/hr may increase by 5 mg/hr up to a maximum of 15 mg/hr. Infusion duration should not exceed 24 hr. 

When using this formula, ideal body weight should be used for patients who are obese, often considered to be those individuals with an actual body weight more than 15% over their ideal body weight. 

Ideal body weight = 45.5 + (2.3 x 3) = 52.4 kg. Since CM s actual body weight is not more than 15% greater than her IBW, use CM s actual body weight ... 

Erom a probabilistic approach it should be possible to derive the exposure for any age group or any percentile, as shown for example in Eig. 6.3. In Eig. 6.3, upper and lower limits are represented by the line either side of the mean estimate represented by the diamond. In addition the effect of gender, socioeconomic class, ethnicity, etc., can be evaluated, provided they have been identified in the food intake survey, although as the group studied becomes smaller greater uncertainties inevitably arise. Exposure can be expressed as mg/kg actual body weight or mg/person/day or mg/kg diet.
