This would be a tough one, because local anesthetic max doses are controversial, no one really knows what they are, and it depends so much on WHERE you put it. See "Maximum recommended doses of local anesthetics: a multifactorial concept": http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15635516

Yes! Implementing "Nomogram to estimate age-related MAC" (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15220181) as a MedCalc formula would be great! It would be so much more convenient to type a couple of values into MedCalc than mess around with rulers and drawing lines.
It should have the option to input age and end-tidal agent concentration with an output of MAC value, or input age and desired MAC value with an output of end-tidal agent concentration. And the advantage of a formula rather than a nomogram is that you could input any concentration of nitrous oxide, rather than being limited to 0%, 50% and 67% as the nomogram is.
