- 1. I V Fluid calculation
- 2. Formula is Amount of Fluid in mL Total time of Infusion (Min) Drop Factor = IV Infusion Rate
- 3. Example If doctor ordered to 1200 milliliters of dextrose 5% in 12 hours using 15 drops per ml of infusion rate. Find IV infusion rate in drops per minute
- 4. Amount of fluid =1200ml Total time of infusion=12hrs Drop factor=15drops/ml Infusion rate=?
- 5. Step 1 convert 12 hours into minute 12 hrs x 60 min=720 mins Apply formula
- 6. =1200/720 X 15 =1200/48 =1000/4 =25 Iv infusion rate 25 drops per minute
- 7. Maintenance Fluid Calculation 4 – 2 – 1 rule
