1,500 mL of D5/0.45 NaCl is to run over 10 hours using a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate.

Expert Solution

Volume of fluid to infuse:1500ml of D5/0.45Nacl

Drop factor:10gtt/ml

Time:10hours

volume of IV fluid × Drop factor

Flow Rate = ___________________________________

Time in minutes

1500(ml) ×10(gtt/ml)

= _________________________________

10×60(gives us total minutes)

1500 × 10

= _____________________________

600

= 25 gtt/min

Flow Rate is 25 gtt / min
