Ordered dose is = 60 units /kg bolus dose

Weight of the patient =160lb

To change to kg from lb =divide the mass value by 2.205

160/2.205=72.57 kg

Available dose in hand = 16000 units per 400 ml

that is 25 units per one mililitre.

Patient weight is 72.57kg

patient need 72.57 x 60 units = around 4354.2 units is needed as per body weight.

Hense the bolus in units is = 4354.2 units

Desirded dose/dose in hand xquantity = ordered dose

4354/25 x1=174.16ml

BOLUS UNITS -4354.2 UNITS

BOLUS IN MILILITRE- 174.16 ml
