Required rate of infusion of Nitroglycerin is 40mcg/min.
Required drug per hour = rate of infusion per minute * 60
which is 40*60 mcg/hr = 2400mcg/hr.
available formulation of drug is 40 mg in 250ml D5W
Drug per ml D5W = total drug / volume
which is 40/250 = 0.16 mg/ml or 160mcg/ml
160mcg in 1ml
2400 mcg is present in 15 ml.
The required rate of infusion is 15mL/hr.
This is a brief explanation. Hope this is helpful. Please feel free to give a like and contact us if you need further detail explanation. Thank you and have a great day.
