The ordered dose of heparin is 2400 in one hour.
The available concentration is 25000 units in 500 ml.
This means 2400 units are present in 48ml.
The calculation is (500*2400)/25000 = 48
The required volume per hour is 48ml.
This is the way to calculate the required volume per hour. Hope this helps you out. Please feel free to give your feedback and if you need further explanation. Thank you and have a great day.
