The drug alfentanilhydrochloride is administered by infusion at the rate of 2 µg/kg/min for anesthesia induction. If a total of 0.35 mg of the drug is to be administered to a 110-lb patient, how long should be the duration of the infusion?
Homework Answers
Rate of administration of the drug = 2 µg/kg/min
Total drug to be administered = 0.35 mg = 350 µg
Weight of patient = 110-lb patient = 49.8952 kg
= 350 µg/2
175/49.8952
= 3.507 min

A patient is administered a drug through IV infusion at a rate of 300 mg/h. The drug is eliminated from the body via urine and the halflife is reported as 5h. Based on the patient’s weight, you are expecting a steady-state level of 7 mg/ml. A) Based on these assumptions, how much is Vd? B) A blood test shows that the concentration of the drug in the plasma is 15 mg/ml. Looking at your assumptions, what might have been wrong?...

A 199 lb patient is ordered to receive intermittent IV infusions of a drug. This drug has a population-based Vd of o. Lkg and a 6 hr elimination half-life. The ordering physician has indicated the rate of drug infusion should be 150 mg/hr for a total time of 2 hours. Assume the nurse will set the infusion pump to be 2 mL/min. You must now prepare the small volume parenteral bag containing the drug. What should be the drug concentration...
