An IV at 60 gtt/min 500 ml of the fluid remain in the bag the gtt factor of the tubing is 60gtts/ml the current time is 2335 hr. what time will the infusion be completed
Given
Volume:500ml(remaining)
Flow rate :60gtt/min
Drop factor :60gtt/ml
Flow rate=Volume*Drop factor/Time *60
Let time be x
60=500*60/x*60
60=500/x(60 is divisible by another 60)
60*x=500
x=500/60
x=8.3
So the time take to transfuse the remaining fluid is 8hours and 30minutes
Start time :2335 or 11:35pm
Add 8hours 30minutes to this =0805 or the fluid will finish by 08:05am
Ans:The infusion will be completed at 08:05am
