A patient with a pulmonary embolism who weights 209 pounds is ordered to have a heparin bolus of 90 units per kg followed by an infusion. Calculate the dosage of the heparin bolus to be administered?
According to the given parameters
Patient weight= 209 pounds
Heparin ordered= 90 units per kg
Heparin dosage =?
At first pounds can be converting into kilograms (kg)
209 pounds/ 2.2 = 95 kg
Then calculate the given dose in units 95 x 90 = 8,550 units
After this heparin dose can be calculated
1000U: 1 mL :: 8,550u : X mL (X = Heparin dosage)
1000U x XmL = 8,550U
Therefore XmL = 8.55mL
So the heparin dose= 8.55mL
