Functions are provided for estimation of a range of physiologic characteristics of infant, child and adult humans.

• Height, weight and fluid compartments.
• Henderson-Hasslebalch
• Alveolar gas equation
• Airway dead-space

Each formula is referenced to the original publication. Warnings can be given for estimation based on input data outside of normal ranges. Future functions will cover more material with a focus on anaesthesia, critical care and peri-operative medicine.

Contributions welcome.
