To regulate an IV volume by electronic infusion pump calibrated in mL/h |
Total mL ordered/Total h ordered=mL/h (rounded to a whole number) 250mL/2h=125mL |

For electronic infusion regulators, if the infusion time is less than 1 hour |
Total mL ordered/x mL=Total min ordered/60 min/h (round mL/h to a whole number Ampicillin 500 mg IV in 50 mL D5 half NS in 30 min by infusion pump. 50 mL/x mL/h=30 min/60 min/h 30x/30=3000/30 = x=100mL/h |

The formula method to calculate IV flow rate for manually IVs ordered in mL/h or for a prescribed number of minutes |
V /T *C = x gtt/min Volume (mL)/Time (min) * drop factor (gtt/mL) = Rate (gtt/min) 125 mL/ 60 min*10 gtt/min = 20.8 = 21 gtt/min |

The formula method to calculate IV flow rate for manually regulated IVs ordered in total volume and total hours |
NS IV 3000 mL per 24 h. Drop factor is 15 gtt/min Convert mL/h then v /t *df=r (Round to the nearest whole) |
