Veterinary Anesthesia Protocol

For my capstone project at Ada Developers Academy, I used my experience in veterinary medicine and my full stack software development skills to build a simple yet valuable tool that can benefit medical staff, pets and pet owners.

It's a full stack web application built with Django, PostgreSQL, RESTful API, React and Bootstrap and it's primary function is to reduce drug calculation errors with veterinary anesthetic protocols.

Features

  • Calculates drug dosages for anesthesia, pain continuous rate infusion, fluid rates, and emergency drugs
  • Allows custom protocols for cats and dogs by entering each required drug and the required dose individually
  • Auto populates protocols for healthy cats and dogs with the click of a button
  • Drug Interactions check from the National Institutes Of Health API
    ** This feature is unfortunately no longer available. The NIH deprecated the drug interactions API in Feb 2024.

Future Enhancements

  • User login and authentication
  • User created auto-populate protocols
  • Dosing out-of-range alert messages
  • Store protocols by patient
  • Accessibility enhancements
  • Printable document with complete protocol and anesthesia monitoring grid
