IV Infusion Rate mL/hr
IV mL/hr = [(Fluid vol)/(Drug in bag)] x [(pt's wgt) / K (constant)] x [Desired rate x (1/60 min OR 1hr)]
Constant K
K = 1000000 for ng/kg/min
K = 1000000 for ng/kg/hr
K = 1000000 for ng/min
K = 1000000 for ng/hr
K = 1000 for mcg/kg/min
K = 1000 for mcg/kg/hr
K = 1000 for mcg/min
K = 1000 for mcg/hr
K = 1 for mg/kg/min
K = 1 for mg/kg/hr
K = 1 for mg/min
K = 1 for mg/hr
