Learn How to Calculate Intravenous Drip Rate - Tutorial

An intravenous (IV) drip rate calculation demonstrates the drip rate of solution managed over a given time and is normally expressed as mL/Hr or mL/min.

Here given with the example tutorial with formula on how to calculate IV drip rate.

Example:

Given the Volume of 1000 millilitres of liquid over the time of 60 minutes and using the drop factor of 50 drops / millilitre. How many drops per minute should this liquid is set for?

Given,

Volume = 1000 millilitres time = 60 minutes Drop Factor = 50 drops / millilitre

To Find,

Intravenous (IV) Drip Rates

Solution:

Substitute the given values in the formula,

Thus, the intravenous (IV) drip rate value is calculated.
