Another way of calculating IV flow is dividing the volume to be infused by the time(in minutes) then multiply by the drop factor.Example 800ml to be infused in 5hrs with a drop factor of 15.Answer... 800÷300×15=40gtt/min (make sure and convert your hours to minutes in this case I converted 5hrs to minutes which is 300mins)

This method could apply to any drop factor. The drop factor will only be 10,15, or 20 (macro) or 60 (micro). The drop factor is determined by the IV drop chamber used

@@aditya_anchal There are differences among various continents and countries, but the essence of calculating IV flow is the same. By the way, I had totally forgotten that I had made that comment, since in my faculty we use ml/hr and IV pumps. Hardly have I used the drops/min format, except in blood transfusions in patients with heart failure or compromised cardiovascular profile.

Dexamethasone is available as a 4mg/ml preparation; an infant is to receive 0.35mg. The volume needed would be a miniscule 0.08mL, which is very difficult to accurately measure. Prepare a dilution so that the final concentration is 1mg/mL. How much diluent will you need if the original product is in a 1mL vial and you dilute the entire vial? What is the volume of final dose to be measured?
