Most commonly used to determine the infusion rate in mL/hour after inputting the dose in UNITS/kg/HOUR and the infusion concentration. This can be used to solve for any one of the variables when the other variables have been input.

- UNITS/kg/HOUR: the UNITS per kilogram per HOUR dose

- mL/Hour: the millilters per hour infusion rate of the intravenous solution

- UNITS: the total units added to the intravenous solution

- Total Volume: the total milliliter volume of the intravenous solution bag or syringe

- Weight: the patient's weight

At what mL/hour rate would a 25000 units in 500mL solution need to infuse to deliver 18 UNIT/kg/HOUR to a 60kg patient? Input the following:

- UNIT/kg/HOUR: 18

- UNITS: 25000

- Total Volume: 500mL

- Weight: 60kg

The calculator solves for mL/HOUR giving a value of 21.6 mL/Hour
