Solutions
Expert Solution
patient weight = 298 lb = 135.17 kg (1 lb = 0.453 kg)
30 mcg/kg/min
per kg = 30 mcg
per 135.17 kg = 30 (135.17) = 4055 mcg = 4 mg (1mg = 1000 mcg)
4 mg of Lidocaine for 1 minute (30 mcg/kg/min)
The given bag has Lidocaine 4 mg/mL
1 ml having 4 mg Lidocaine should be given per 1 minute
1 ml / 1 min
we need to calculate ml/hr, so 1 hr has 60 minutes
ml/hr = volume per minute * total minutes = 1 * 60 = 60 ml
60 ml/hr
