Abstract

Medical doctors due to economic considerations of the pharma-industry and the #flexibility of the human organization prescribe medicines with certain approximation. No patient will treated with daily 4 or 6 mg #enalapril, but with the available 5 mg tablets. And the patient, independently of his/her actual age, height or weight, will reach the targeted blood pressure value. If not, dose will be increased according to the scale of dosage forms of the particular main ingredient. Contrarily, for an #anaesthesiologists, who has to dosage the anaesthetics according to the actual body weight, would some inaccuracy of body weight make problem. However, in this case the anaesthesiologist has to consider the obesity, maybe based on the patients body mass index (BMI) as well because of the different #pharmacokinetic parameters of the drugs in fat mass and lean body mass [1]. In this particular situation the BMI becomes an important factor.
