Help
Most commonly used to determine the infusion rate in mL/hour after inputting the desired mCg/kg/hour dose and the infusion concentration. This can be used to solve for any one of the variables when the other variables have been input.
Rows
- mCg/kg/HOUR: the micrograms per kilogram per HOUR dose
- mL/HOUR: the millilters per hour infusion rate of the intravenous solution
- Weight: the patient's weight
- Total milligrams: the total milligrams added to the intravenous solution bag or syringe
- Total Volume: the total milliliter volume of the intravenous solution bag or syringe
Examples
How many mL/hour of an 800mg in 1000 mL solution would need to infuse to deliver 200 mCg/kg/HOUR in a 40kg patient? Input the following:
- mCg/kg/HOUR: 200
- Weight: 40kg
- Total milligrams: 800
- Total Vol: 1000mL
The calculator solves for mL/HOUR and gives an answer of 10 mL/hour.
