CALCULATION OF INTRAVENOUS INFUSION RATES
Calculating Drops per Minute
formula
Volume (mL) X drop factor = Rate (drop/min)
________________
Time (hr) × 60
or
Volume (mL) X drop factor = Rate (drop/min)
___________________________
Time (min
To calculate an IV drip rate for a medication that is administered based on a specified dosage to be infused per minute
Drops per minute = Dosage per minute to be administered X Drop factor (60)
______________________________
(Concentration of medication per ml)
The drop factor is the 'drops per millilitre' delivered to the patient
(commonly 15 or 20 drops/ml)
To calculate an IV drip rate for a medication that is administered based on a specified dosage per kilogram of body weight per minute
Drops per minute = Desired dosage per minute X Weight in Kg X Drop factor of IV set
