| Need IV Drip Calculation OK, I've had a brain infarct. I can not remember the formula for determining the doseage e.g. mcg/kg/min when you just have the ml/hr infusing. I had a handout for IV drip calculations but I misplaced it. I would be mucho appreciative to anyone who could help me. |

|  Re: Need IV Drip Calculation To know the mcg/kg/min on a running pump you multiply the cc/hr by the constant. Here is the formula to determine the constant: Mg ---- X 1000 divided by pt's wt in kg divided by 60 = the C. Volume I hope that helps. So many hospitals now have pumps that do it all so it is easy to forget! |
