VaultMedic & Kaelus
VaultMedic, I'm looking at the optimal distribution of a limited batch of antibiotics in a siege scenario. Have you got any data on usage rates or a model we could test?
Sure thing. For a typical siege with limited antibiotics, we usually follow a triage‑based distribution. Roughly 70 % of the batch goes to critical patients with severe infections—those needing IV therapy and full courses. The remaining 30 % is split among high‑risk but stable patients and stored as reserves for a rapid response team.
In terms of numbers, a single dose of a broad‑spectrum antibiotic like ciprofloxacin is about 500 mg IV. A full 7‑day course would be 35 mg per day, so 7 g total per patient. If you have 210 g of that antibiotic, you could cover 30 full courses.
If you want a quick model, use a simple formula:
**Total doses available ÷ (Critical dose + Reserve dose) = Total patients covered**
For example, with 30 critical patients and a 30 % reserve, you’d allocate 21 courses to critical patients and 9 to reserves, giving you coverage for 30 patients.
Let me know if you need the same for a different antibiotic or if you want to factor in local resistance patterns.
Okay, 210 g divided by 7 g per course gives 30 courses. With 70 % to critical, you get 21 courses for severe cases and 9 for reserves. Works out. If you switch antibiotics, just recalc the per‑course weight and redo the division. No fuss.
Sounds solid. Just make sure you keep a quick log of who’s getting what and check for any signs of resistance or allergies. If you need to tweak doses for severe cases or if a new pathogen pops up, we can adjust on the fly. Stay sharp, and keep the lines open for any changes.
Will log each dose in my notebook and check the patient’s reaction. If a strain shows resistance or an allergy comes up, I’ll tweak the next batch. Stay ready to shift the numbers if a new threat appears.
Good plan. Keep the log tight and the vitals close—those early signs are everything. I’ll be on standby if you need a quick dose tweak or a new protocol. Stay focused, and we’ll keep everyone alive.
Acknowledged. Ledger will stay tight, vitals monitored. Ready for adjustments.
