Tridil is infusing at 15 ml/hr on an infusion pump. The drug is mixed 50 mg in 500 ml D5W. How many MCG/minute is the patient receiving?

Expert Solution

Infusion rate = 15 ml/hr

= (15/60) ml/minute = 0.25 ml/minute

Content of drug :

In 500ml , content of drug = 50mg

In 0.25 ml , content of drug = (50/500)*0.25 = 0.025mg

So,

Infusion rate of drug = 0.025mg

= 0.025*10^-3 gm/minute

= 25*10^-6 gm/minute

= 25 micrograms/minute

So patient is receiving 25 MCG/minute
