A man who weighs 80kg is to receive an infusion of drug Y at a rate of 2.4 micrograms/kg/minute. If one 20ml vial of drug Y, which contains 10mg/mL, is diluted to 0.8 litres with water, at what rate in mL/min, should the infusion be set?
First let's find the drug dose for this man
mg/min
Now the solution concentration
20 mL contain
mg
now concentration :
mg / L mg / mL
Now the rate is given as
mL / min
