A provider order is written for insulin at 3 units/hr; the premixed solution is composed of 50 units of insulin in 100 ml in normal saline. At which rate (ml/hr) should the infusion run?
ANSWER.
* Calculation of rate(ml/hr) should the insulin run.
Formula
Flow rate = Volume(ml) /Time(hr)
Volume(ml) of insulin required.
Formula = Desired dose(D) / Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q)
Here
Desired dose(D) = 3 units/hr.
Dose in hand (H) = 50 units.
Quantity(Q) = 100 ml.
As per formula
Volume(ml) of insulin required = D/H * Q
= 3/50 * 100
= 0.06 * 100
= 6 ml.
Time(hr) = 1 hr.
Flow rate (ml/hr) = Volume(ml) / Time(hr)
= 6/1
= 6 ml/hr.
