• Dose =what you want X no. of divisions /cc

What you have / cc
• Patient receiving Inj. Piptaz 2750mg while the
available dose is 4500mg.
• If u mix with 10 ml
• 4500/10 = 450mg
• 2750/450 = 6.11 X 2 =12.22 division
• If u mix with 9 ml
• 4500/9 = 500 mg
• 2750/500 = 5.5 X 2 = 11 division
• In 10 cc syringe 1ml = 2 divisions 11/2 = 5.5 ml
• < 10kg - 4ml/kg/hr (40ml/hr)
• 10 -20kg – 4ml+2ml/kg/hr (40ml+ 20ml/hr)
• >20 kg – 4ml+2ml+ 1ml/kg/hr (60ml+ 1ml/kg/hr)

• <10 kg – 100ml/kg/day (1000ml/day)

• 10 – 20 kg – 100ml+50ml/kg/day (1000+500ml/day)
• >20 kg - 100ml+50ml+ 20ml/kg/day
(1000+500+20ml/day)
• 35kg calculate for over 24 hrs
• 10 + 10 + 15
X X X
• 100 + 50 + 20
• 1000 + 500 + 300 = 1800ml
• 35 kg child NPO calculate fluid for an hour
• 10 + 10 + 15
• 4 + 2 + 1
• 40 + 20 + 15 = 75 ml
• 7 kg calculate fluid for 24 hrs
• < 10 kg – 100 ml/kg/day
• 7 X 100 = 700ML

• 7 kg calculate for an hour

• <10 kg – 4ml/kg/hr
• 7 X 4 = 28
• 16 kg child in NPO calculate the iv fluid
requirement for 24 hrs
• 10 – 20 kg - 100 ml+ 50ml/kg/day
• 1000+300 =1300ml

• 16 kg child calculate fluid for an hour

• 10 – 20kg – 4ml+2 ml/kg/hr
• 40 +12 =52ml
• 42 kg calculate fluid for 24 hrs
• 1940ml
• 42 kg calculate for an hr
• 82ml
• 56kg calculate fluid for 24 hrs
• 2220ml
• 56kg calculate for 1hr
• 96ml
• 17 kg calculate for 24hrs
• 1350ml
• 17 kg calculate for 1hr
• 54ml
• 14kg calculate for 24 hrs
• 1200ml
• 14 kg calculate for 1hr
• 48hr
• Volume(ml) X drop factor
time (min)
• 1500 X 15
12 X 60 4
• 31 drops /min
• 1800 over 6 hrs using Burette set find out the
flow rate
• 300 drops in burette
• 75 in IV set
• 1800 X 60 = 300 drops / min
6 X 60
• 1800 X 15 = 75 drops /min
6 X 60 4
• 75 ml of Normal saline over 1 hr use burette
set/ iv sat calculate the flow rate
• 75 X 60 = 75 drops/min
1X60
• 75 X 15 = 18. 75 drops/min ~ 19 drops/min
60 4
• 300 ml of fluid over 4 hrs calculate the flow
rate use either burette / IV set
75 drops/min Burette
19 drops/min IV set
• 650ml over 1 hr calculate the flow rate
• 162 drops/min IV set
• 3800 ml over 24 hrs calculate the flow rate
• 158 drops/ min in burette
• 39 drops/ min in IV set
• 2400 ml over 24 hrs calculate the flow rate
• 100 drops/min in burette
• 25 in IV set
• 2100 over 16 hrs calculate the flow rate
• 131 drops/min in burette
• 33 drops / min in IV set
