Drip Rates — is when the infusion volume is calculated into drops. The formula for the Drip Rate: Drip Rate = Volume (mL). Time (h).
In order to calculate the IV flow rate you must know the total volume to be infused
To calculate the numnber of drops per minute the nurse needs to know the prescribed medication over the prescribed infusion time and the drop factor.
Calculate the infusion time for an IV of 750mL RL ordered at a rate of 80. What is the volume? flow rate x drop factor x 1hr/60min = gtt/min.
Drops per minute (DPM) is used to calculate the IV flow rate of a given Instead of giving the total time the question may have the infusion rate.
amount of fluid to be infused (mL) gtt/min = 1 mL time in minutes. ×. And if 75 mL of IV fluid were to infuse each hour and the drop factor is 15 gtt/mL
How fast will the IV need to be infused to give the correct dose? 1. The IV rate will be as an hourly rate so no conversion needs to be made for time. If the
