If the administration set is calibrated to deliver 60 gtt/mL, how long will it take to deliver the IV piggyback? 8.

Answer 1

If 1 hour 75 mL 24 hour = 24 times 75 = 1800 mL = 1.8L If 1 hour 125 cc/hr (125 mL /hour) Therefore 24 hour (1 day) = x x = 24 times 125 = 3000 cc or mL = 3L \r\n If 25000 units 250 mL of dextrose 12000 units/hr = 12000 times 250/25000 = 120 mL of dextrose/hr If 5 mL of dextrose 100 mL/final sol^n Therefore 120 mL of dextrose/h = 120 times 100/5 = 2400 mL final solution/hr should be correct rate of infusion in mL/hr. \r\n If 30 min 100 mL Therefore 1 min = 100/30 = 3.33 mL/min Now according to 10 gtt/mL 1 mL = 10 gtt 3.33 mL = ? = 3.33 times 10 = 33.3 gtt so 1 min 3.33 mL 33.3 gtt/min
