Math Formulas for NUR 102

calculate remaining infusion time
- put volume in mls (i.e. 1000 mls)
- over mls per hour remaining
- (ex 125mls/hr)
- 1000mls
- 125mls/hr
ans (8 hours)
calculate gtts per min
- take volume (how many mls in bag i.e. 1000) and break down into mls/hour (need to know how many hours for infusion to do so, we will assume 8 hours) 1000/8 = 125mls/hr
- so 125mls goes on top and 60 (time in mins) goes on bottom
- multiply that by gtt factor on top
- then divide by time on bottom...do math short cut if applicable
- infusion rate*gtt factor
- time in mins
- 125mls*15 gtt/ml
- 60 mins
ans 31.25
IV flow rate (infusion rate) mls per hour
- put amount of solution on top
- (i.e. 1 liter=1000mls)
- put time on bottom (i.e. 8 hours)
- 1000mls
- 8hours
( ans 125 mls/hour)
