Ancef, an antibiotic, is mixed as 50 mL of IV solution. It is to infuse in 1 hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 60 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Flow rate is calculated as drops per minute.Formula used is

Drops per minute=

[Volume( in mL )× drop factor( drops per mL)] ÷ time (in minutes)

Here,

Volume = 50mL

Drop factor = 60 drops per mL

Time= 1 hour (60 minutes)

Substituting these values,

Drops per minute = (50×60)÷60 =50

Answer =50 drops per minute
