On Wednesday afternoon, your patient returns from surgery with an IV fluid order for 1000 cc every 8 hours. On Thursday morning at 8am, you assess that 600 mL of a 1L bag has been absorbed. The physician orders the remainder of that bag to infuse over the next 6 hours. You know that the IV tubing used by your unit delivers 10 gtt/mL. What will the correct rate of flow be?
Homework Answers
Ans) On Wednesday, total volume- 1000 ml
On Thursdays, 600ml has been absorbed
Remainder of the bag= 1000-600= 400ml
So to infuse 400ml over next 6 hours
Time- 6hrs = 6×60 = 360
Drop factor- 10gtts/ml
Formula:
Flow rate (ml/hr) = Volume (ml) ÷ time (mins) × drop factor
Let x be the rate of flow
x= 400/360 × 10
x= 11.11 = 11ml/min
The rate of flow is 11ml/min.
