Answer #1

Total volume of fluid to be infused = 70 ml

Drip rate = 10 gtt/ mt

Tubing factor = 15 gtt /ml

Infusion time

= Total volume (ML) / flow rate x Tubing factor

= 70 ml / 10 gtt/mt x 15

= 105 minutes ( 1 hour 45 minutes) .

In the given equation the Total amount of fluid to be infused is 70 ml, the drip rate refers to amount of drop to be flow per minute is 10 gtt, the callibration/drop factor/tubing factor given is 15 gtt.

As the formula explains to identify the infusion time , the toatl volume of fluid to be infused is divided by the flow rate multiply by the tubing factor.

The infusion time is 105 minutes.
