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
