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.
