vasopressor-equivalents

vasopressor-equivalents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hannesill/m4. It costs 41 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A calculator that converts doses of different blood-pressure medicines into norepinephrine-equivalent doses, a common way to compare the amount of circulatory support patients receive. It includes conversion factors for several medicines.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare vasopressor exposure, assess shock severity, study medicine weaning, quantify circulatory support, and calculate the vasopressor part of the cardiovascular SOFA score.
Why use it?
Different medicines use different units and strengths, so their doses cannot be compared directly. Converting them to one reference measure supports consistent comparison.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vasopressor-equivalents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vasopressor Equivalent Dose

Calculates norepinephrine-equivalent dose (NED) to enable comparison across different vasopressor agents. Based on the Goradia et al. 2020 scoping review of vasopressor dose equivalence.

M4Bench Use

In M4Bench, target concept tables listed in the task configuration are removed or unavailable in the agent database. Use this skill as procedural guidance and derive the requested output from available source or intermediate tables; do not rely on a precomputed target table or bundled SQL script.

When to Use This Skill

  • Comparing vasopressor exposure across different agents
  • Shock severity quantification
  • Vasopressor weaning studies
  • Hemodynamic support burden calculation
  • Cardiovascular SOFA component (uses vasopressor doses)

Equivalence Factors

Vasopressor Equivalence Ratio Comparison Dose Units
Norepinephrine 1:1 0.1 mcg/kg/min
Epinephrine 1:1 0.1 mcg/kg/min
Dopamine 1:100 10 mcg/kg/min
Phenylephrine 1:10 1 mcg/kg/min
Vasopressin 1:0.4* 0.04 units/min

*Vasopressin is converted: vasopressin_units_per_hr * 2.5 / 60

Calculation Formula

Treat missing agent-specific dose rates as zero. Compute the norepinephrine equivalent dose as:

norepinephrine + epinephrine + phenylephrine / 10 + dopamine / 100 + vasopressin * 2.5 / 60

Round the final value to 4 decimal places.

Source Tables

For raw M4Bench tasks, derive vasopressor intervals from medication infusion records and normalize dose units yourself. Use charted weight records when a rate is stored in non-weight-normalized units.

Critical Implementation Notes

  1. Weight-Based Dosing: All doses are in mcg/kg/min (except vasopressin in units/hr). The underlying tables use patient weight for conversion.

  2. Weight Estimation: When weight is not documented, estimate from charted weight records and carry the source through the calculation for auditability.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
