摘要

A device (100) for determining a dosage of a drug to be administered to a patient is provided. The device includes a sampling module for receiving a sample of patient blood drawn from the patient. Additionally, the device includes a viscosity determining module adjacent to the sampling module for determining a blood viscosity based upon the sample of patient blood. The device further includes a dosage determining module electrically communicating with the viscosity determining module to determine a dosage of the drug to administer to the patient based upon the blood viscosity.
