Measurement used when IV is regulated manually. Because it is not possible to give a patient a fraction of a drop, it is typical to round answers for these problems up or down to the nearest whole number. Formula: Volume (mL) Time (min) x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min) Example: Calculate the IV flow rate for 1200 mL of NS to be infused in 6 hours. The infusion set is calibrated for a drop factor of 15 gtts/mL. Volume (mL) Time (min) x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min) Convert 6 hours to minutes. min ← hr ( x by 60 ) 6 hr x 60 = 360 min 1200 mL 360 min x 15 gtts/mL = 50 gtts/min Example: Calculate the IV flow rate for 200 mL of 0.9% NaCl IV over 120 minutes. Infusion set has drop factor of 20 gtts/mL. Volume (mL) Time (min) x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min) 200 mL 120 min x 20 gtts/mL = 33 gtts/min [Show More]
