In the Procedure Room
The answer is already there when you reach for it.
You've just started titrating. You want to know exactly how much mL is in that next increment — and what the ceiling is before you push it.
Scenario — Midazolam · 70 kg adult · Stock 1 mg/mL
You opened the card. Bolus was 1–2.5 mg (1–2.5 mL). You're titrating 0.5–1 mg increments. The ceiling is 5 mg — FDA label — and the app tells you exactly when you're approaching it.
No conversion in your head — mg and mL side-by-side
Ceiling source labeled — FDA label vs. clinical rec, never ambiguous

Bolus: flat dose · FDA ceiling 5 mgBolus mL: 1 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 1.00 mL | 2.5 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 2.50 mL
Titrate mL: 0.5 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 0.50 mL | 1 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 1.00 mL
Ceiling mL: 5 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 5.00 mL (FDA label)
Clinical note
Administer over ≥2 min. Wait ≥2 min before redosing. ASA III–IV or opioid co-admin: start 1 mg, reduce 30–50%. Elderly (age ≥60): ceiling ≤2 mg — clinical rec.
