Drops per minute

[@AvidTraveller30]

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)

For #1 there is a formula, which I find to be easier. drops/min = (volume in mL x drop factor)/time in minutes

[@lauralchandler]

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

[@ldumdx]

@GanjaGuru91 the drop factor tells you how many drops for each ml. It is usually 20 for clear fluids and 15 for blood

[@millions2nette]

Very easy to follow. Thanks and keep them coming

[@asimapradhan2361]

Thanks ma'am you absolutely simplified everything is explain your explain is very nice 👍👍👍

[@shord140]

So glad to find this the night before our OB/Peds drug calc exam!

[@MrPapasforever]

You are absolutely right! Commonly, there are two types of IV Infusion set. These with 60 drops/min and those with 20 drops/min.

[@aditya_anchal]

Actually in India there are two type.. micro (64 drops) and macro (16 drops)

[@MrPapasforever]

@@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.

[@priyajoseva3064]

Teaching method is good clearly understand

[@chawjwan4515]

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?

[@thepharmacistacademy]

Straight to the point thank you !

[@af_co8413]

Drop factor is number of drops to make 1 ml of infusion so multiply the total volume with drop factor and divide the result with total number of minutes you'll get the anwer :-)

I learned something easier and not confusing formula...I hate math, fyi. I multiply hours to 60 minutes before i divide them to ml then multiply to drop factor equals the answer.

why did you divide by 4 when drop rate is 15

[@jody802202]

at the start she worked out factor 15 is 1/4 and factor 20 is 1/3

[@anjalishrote6356]

but isnt it supposed to be 1/3 for 15 and 1/4 for 20

Well it’s always Drop factor / 60 So if the drop factor was 10, it would then be 10/60... which is simplified to 1/6.
