Order: heparin infusion at 20 units/kg/h.

on hand: 25000 units heparin/500 ml D5w.

The patient weighs 225 lb.

Weight of the patient in kg = 102.058 (As the weight in lbs. is divided by 2.205 to get the weight in kg)

on hand: 25000 units heparin/500 ml D5w

= 25000/500

= 50 units/ml

Order: heparin infusion at 20 units/kg/h

= 102.058 x 20 units/hr

2041.16 units/h

Dose in ml it will be; 2041.16/ 50 = 40.823 ml/hr
