How do you calculate drip rate of an IV solution?
You need to know the drip rate of your tubing (microdrop 60 or macrodrop 10, 15, or 20 - amount of drops per mL of fluid), the amount of fluid to be administered, the time over which it should be infused, as well as if you want your answer to be in drops per minute or milliliters per hour (using a machine or going old school). You then set up your equation more or less as follows (example using gtt/min, macrodrop tubing 15/1mL, 200 mL of solution over 2 hours) ... x gtt/min = 15 gtt/1 mL x 200 mL/2 hrs x 1 hr/60 min Then solve for x... x= 25 gtt/min
