Ordered: IV of 1000ml to infuse at 125ml/hr. The drop factor is 20. How many gtt/min will you set IV to infuse?
ANSWER.
* Calculation of gtt/min.
gtt/min = Volume(ml) / Time(min) * Drop factor(gtt/ml).
Here
Volume(ml) = 125 ml
Time(min) = 60 min ( 1hr).
Drop factor = 20 gtts/ml.
As per above formula
Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q
= 125/60 * 20
= 2.08 * 20
= 41.6 gtt/min.
