On the adult RSI drug dosing calculator, the highest weight class is now 150 kg (instead of 150+ kg). The doses provided when this option is chosen are most appropriate for patients who weigh 150 kg. For weights greater than 150 kg, please refer to the base dosing schedule found in the “About Calculator” section of the Adult RSI Calculator. Lean body weight should be used for induction agent dosing. See also The Walls Manual of Emergency Airway Management, 5e (Chapter 20).
