The physician orders 1 liter of Dextrose 5% in 0.45% Normal Saline (D51/2 NS) at 125 ml/he. What is the infusion time of the IV fluid?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Infusion time = 8 hr

Explanation

To calculate infusion time of the IV fluid, we can use the formula,

Infusion time =

Total volume ordered(mL) / rate of infusion(mL/hr)

Here, total volume ordered = 1 litre = 1000 mL

Rate of infusion = 125 mL/hr

Infusion time = 1000/125 = 8 hr
