Answer #1

132 lb = 60 kg.

6 mg/20 ml is the available dose.

Recommended dose is 0.5 mg/kg.

So, total 30 mg is required.

Inorder to deliver 30 mg, 100 ml should be administered.

Inorder to compete in 2 hours, 50ml/hr should be the infusion rate.

> The work needs to be better explained and shown here. Where is the 30 mg coming from?
