supply: heparin 25,000 units diluted in a 250 mL bag to give a concentration of 100 units/mL
patient weight 135 lbs

1. calculate the heparin bolus to the nearest hundred? mL
2. infusion rate in mL/h in whole number



Solutions

Expert Solution

Ordered dosage- 20 units per kg per hour or 50 units per kg.

Available dosage- 100 units/mL of 25000 units

Weight of patient- 135 lbs= 61 Kg

Question 1:

Units required for 61 kg person= 60*50= 3050 units

thus, heparin bolus needed to be delivered is 3050 units.

Question 2:

Ordered infusion rate - 20 units/kg/hour = 1220 units/hour. (For 61 kg man)

Available dose- 100 units per mL

Therefore, total Milliliters of infusion required per hour= 1220/100 mL= 12 mL per hour (rounded to nearest whole number.

Thus, the infusion rate should be 12 mL/hour
