In: Nursing
Total volume = 1000 ml
Total time = 8 hrs
Nurse set the infusion pump in ml /hr =Total volume (ml) /total time (hr )=1000/8 (ml/hr)=125 ml /hr.
In case of drp/min-----
Macro drip factor = 20 (adult ) and children =15
Micro drip factor =60 (both )
Formula=total volume (ml)/total time (min) × 20 for macro drip set but in case of micro drip set 60 is there instead of 20.
