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
