Question

I 200 ML 0.7 10 INCI. What is it pump sculing him An IV is infusing at 15 gtt/min. The concentration in the IV bag is 40 mg in 250 mL NS. The drop factor is 10 gtt/mL. What is the dosage rate in mg/min?

Answer 1

Dosage concentration is 0.24 mg/min

Explanation:

Given data:

Drop factor is 10 gtt/ml

flow rate = 15 gtt/ml

concentration is 49 mg in 250 ml NS

We know flow rate is given as

`flow rate = (volume)/(time) * drop\ factor`

volume in per minute
`= (flow\ rate)/(drop\ factor)`

`= (15)/(10) = 1.5 ml`

In 250 ml concentration is 40 mg

so in 1.5 ml concentration is

Dosage concentration is
`= (1.5* 40)/(250) = 0.24 mg/min`

Dosage concentration is 0.24 mg/min
