Rate in ml/hr

The order here is 1000units of heparin over 1 hr.so we have to calculate how much ml needed for this 1000unit heparin in 1 hr.

In 1000L, 40000units of heparin. so in one ml we can do division.

In 'X' ml 1000units

ie. 40000units 1000ml 1000units X ml

40=1000X

40X= 1000

X=100040

X=25

The Answer is 25ml/hr needed to transfuse 1000units/hr.
