@hdryver I have no clue lol. The teacher marking the tests put off marking them then white to mexico over the break. I feel I did fairly well though. I'll let you know when I get the mark :)

My question is how on earth do you do this in your head on the job? are you allowed a calculator or do u write it out? im considering going into nursing but i am not the best with maths so this is scary haa
-
Where did you get 60gtt/ml? the problem didn't give you that, it just gave you gtt/ml i am confused!
-
Thanks so much for helping with these. I'm a pharmacy tech and I have a hard time with flow rates. This info would help so much in practicing to become an IV specialist.
-
@hdryver thank you! lol had a little confusion and later realized you just multiply the gtt/ml and the ml/min but thank you very much!! :)

You can also just take your volume (150mL) x drip set (60) and divide by mins (90) = 100mL/hr. Easier to remember and setup.

I have my math test tomorrow. You just saved me from failing. I didn't get it at all until I saw the way you explained it.

@ImNicoEh How did the test go?

what if they dont give you the hours to infuse over.
For example "One L d5NS to infuse at 8mL/min, and the drop factor is 20gtt/mL.
How many drops per minute should the patient receive?

@creeeeep Hello. You multiply 8 and 20= 160gtts/min
hdryver 4 months ago
I din´t get the second problem. I know that in 1ml there are 20 drops, so in 1 drop there are 3 microdrops (or microdrip?), that means that in 1ml there are 60 microdrips. In the first example i understood the root of the fraction 60gtts/1ml. But why in the second example do you use the fraction 15gtts/1ml for the convertion. Thanks. You are so sweet.

@christianrrf Hi!! In the problem it states that the administration set is 15gtts/ml, so we have to add that into the problem.
