The physician ordered Timentin (ticarcillin) 500 mg in 50 mL to infuse over 30 minutes. The drop factor is 15 gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate in drops per minute.
To calculate the flow rate, the formula to be used is :
[The amount of fluid to be administered (ml) ÷ time required (minutes)] ×drop factor (gttper minute) = flow rate (gtt per minute or drop per minute)
In the above mentioned question, the amount to be infused is 50ml
The time is 30 minutes
Drop factor is 15gtt per minute
Flow rate = (50 /30) × 15 = 25 drops per minute
