Drug infusion formula



Example:
wt=70kg
we plan to run 10mcg/kg/min
but the infusion pump machine in ml/hr

200mg(200,000mcg)dopamine diluted in 50ml NS

50ml NS:200,000mcg dopamine
1ml NS=200,000/50=4000mcg dopamine

mcg/kg/min to run--> ml/hr

:so

(10mcgx70x60)/4000
=42,000/4000=10.5ml/hr

So we can run the dopamine 10.5ml/hr

TQ
