Patient weight: 21 kg
Medication order: Aminophylline 110 mg in 500 mL of NS at 80
mL/hr
Pediatric dose: 0.84 mg/kg/hr
Drug available: Aminophylline 250 mg/10 mL
This dilution will deliver 0.84 mg/kg/hr.
pediatric dose of Aminophylline = 0.84mg/kg/hr
pediatric dose of Aminophylline for the child of 21kg = 0.84× 21= 17.64 mg/hour
the ordered dose is 110mg in 500 ml of saline at 80ml/hour
110mg in 500 ml solution, then what is the amount of Aminophylline in 80ml?
= 17.6 mg
Aminophylline available is 250 mg in 10 ml
So the amount of Aminophylline for 110 mg dose is
= = 4.4 ml
Add 4.4 ml of the Aminophylline to 500 ml NS, and administer at 80 ml/hour
