Order: Infuse 50 mg of Amphotericin B in 250 mL NS over 4 hours 15 mins; Drop factor: 12gtt/mL

What is the IV flow rate?

What is the drip rate?

Expert Solution

The amount of fluid to be infused = 250 ml

Total time to infuse = 4 hours 15 minutes

= 4*60 minutes+ 15 minutes

= 240 minutes + 15 minutes

= 255 minutes

Drop Factor = 12 gtt/ min

IV Flow rate ml / hr = Volume ml

Time in hours

= Volume * 60 / Time * 60 ( the time is to be converted in to minutes for easy calculation and should be multiplied and divided by 60 )

= 250 ml * 60 / 255min

= 15000 / 255

= 58 .52 ml / hr

Drip rate = millilitres per hour * drip factor / minutes

= 58 .52 * 12 / 60

= 11.7

= 12 drps per minute ( round)
