IV Bag Height Simulator

Educational simulator for exploring how gravity affects hydrostatic pressure in intravenous systems across different planetary environments, including Comet Nadeah.

IV Bag Height Simulator

Conceptually calculate the required height of an intravenous bag in different gravitational environments.

This simulator is for educational purposes only. It calculates basic hydrostatic pressure using the equation P = ρgh. It does not replace clinical judgment and does not account for system resistance, catheter gauge, viscosity, actual venous pressure, or active flow control.

Conceptual Recommendation
Gravity-fed bag viable

In this environment, the calculated height remains conceptually compatible with a gravity-fed IV bag.

In extremely low gravity, an IV bag stops being a practical solution, and an infusion pump or another pressurized system would normally be required.
