Editorial & Review Policy
How these calculators are built, checked, dated, and corrected.
Calculators are built by a practicing intensivist and reviewed by the DosePilot Medical Team, a group of critical care specialists. Every page carries the month it was last medically reviewed.
A dosing calculator is only worth using if you can see where its numbers came from and when someone last looked at them. This page describes the process we actually follow, so you can judge it for yourself.
Who writes and who reviews
Content is written by the site’s developer, an intensivist working in the ICU, and reviewed before publication by the DosePilot Medical Team — critical care specialists who check the clinical content, the dose ranges, and the safety wording. The reviewer line appears at the top of every calculator and guide as “Reviewed by the DosePilot Medical Team · Last medically reviewed: <month year>”.
Where the numbers come from
Clinical values are taken from current specialty guidelines, primary literature, and approved product information — not from other calculator websites.
- Every dose, threshold, and cut-off that a page depends on is checked against the original source text, not a summary of it.
- Where a standard exists for concentrations or dosing units, we follow it and name it on the page.
- Where guidelines disagree or a figure is an editorial judgement rather than a guideline recommendation, the page says so instead of presenting it as established.
- Sources are listed at the end of each page with links, so you can go and read them.
Dates you can check
Each page shows when it was last medically reviewed. Substantive changes are listed on the page itself under Recent Updates, so you can see what changed and when, rather than having to trust an unexplained new date.
Corrections
If you find an error, please write to dosepilot@gmail.com. Reports about a specific number, unit, or formula are the most useful thing you can send. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly, and the correction is recorded in that page’s Recent Updates so the change is visible rather than silent.
Independence
DosePilot carries no advertising, no sponsored content, and no affiliate links. No company pays for a drug, product, or protocol to appear here, and nothing on the site is influenced by industry funding.
What we do not do
We do not give medical advice, we do not recommend treatment for individual patients, and we do not replace institutional protocols. The limits of what these tools are for are set out in the Medical Disclaimer.
