How do you calculate IVF per hour?
If you need to set this up on an IV infusion pump, use the formula, volume (mL) divided by time (min), multiplied by 60 min over 1 hour, this equals the IV flow rate in mL/hr. Using this formula, 100 mL divided by 30 min, times 60 min in 1 hr, equals 199.9, rounded to 200 mL/hr.
How do you calculate IV flow rate by weight?
First, convert grams to milligrams: 2 g → 2000 mg. Next, determine the concentration: 2000 mg per 500 ml = (2000/500) X (mg/ml) = 4 mg/ml. Since you’re using a 60 drop set, you multiply your VTBI by the drip factor. Then divide by the concentration of 4 mg/ml.
What is the maintenance fluid rate for a child who weighs 42 kg round to the nearest whole number?
For a child who weighs 42 pounds, the correct IV drip rate for fluid maintenance is how many mL/hr?…
| Child’s Weight in Kg | IV Drip Rate for Fluid Maintenance |
|---|---|
| 11 – 20 kg | 40 mL/hr + 2 mL/kg/hr |
| ≥ 21 kg | 60 mL/hr + 1 mL/kg/hr |
How do you calculate fluid hourly rate?
Maintenance Fluid Rate is calculated based on weight.
- 4 mL / kg / hour for the first 10kg of body mass.
- 2 mL / kg / hour for the second 10kg of body mass (11kg – 20kg)
- 1 mL / kg / hour for any kilogram of body mass above 20kg (> 20kg)
How do I calculate my child’s daily maintenance fluid requirement?
- For infants 3.5 to 10 kg the daily fluid requirement is 100 mL/kg.
- For children 11-20 kg the daily fluid requirement is 1000 mL + 50 mL/kg for every kg over 10.
- For children >20 kg the daily fluid requirement is 1500 mL + 20 mL/kg for every kg over 20, up to a maximum of 2400 mL daily.
How many drops is 40 mL per hour?
Reference Chart of Drops per Minute
| IV Tubing Drop Factor | Desired Hourly Rate: ML / HR | |
| 20 | 120 | |
|---|---|---|
| 10 DROP/ML | 3 | 20 |
| 15 DROP/ML | 5 | 30 |

How do you calculate IV infusion time?
infusion time (hr) = total volume (mL) ÷ flow rate (mL/hr) total volume (mL) = flow rate (mL/hr) × infusion time (hr)
