About

The Tivatrainer is a drug simulation application for intravenous drugs. Think of training, workshops, research and can be used even at the point of care.

Stop thinking in mg/kg and ml/hr. Start thinking in concentrations! With Tivatrainer you can simulate boluses and infusions, TCI, ETCI and even convert targets to boluses and infusions with IVassist.

History

The previous version of the Tivatrainer has been used all over the world for explaining pharmacokinetic concepts. It has been cited over 300 times in academic literature. Because of its flexibility it has even found its way in lawsuit cases to calculate and explain expected blood concentrations after mishaps with drug dosing inside or outside the operating room. With Tivatrainer, reviewers check drug doses used in manuscripts and it has been used for interactive training in countless workshops from the Eurosiva and other organisations.

Features

The Tivatrainer has four modes of operation.

Manual mode

For adding bolusses and infusions manually.

TCI mode

For simulating blood Target Controlled Infusions (TCI).

ETCI

For simulating Effect Target Controlled Infusions (ETCI).

IVassist

For approximating (E)TCI by manual controlled bolus and infusion.

The Tivatrainer also shows the Bispectral index (BIS) for selected models. It has a powerful copy/paste function to compare properties of different models and to solve elaborate what/if questions.
