The formula for calculating the IV flow rate (drip rate) is total volume (in mL) divided by time (in min), multiplied by the drop factor (in gtts/mL), which equals the IV flow rate in gtts/min.
How do you calculate IV fluids for adults?
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)
What is fluid calculation formula?
Formulas Used:For 0 - 10 kg = weight (kg) x 100 mL/kg/day. For 10-20 kg = 1000 mL + [weight (kg) x 50 ml/kg/day] For > 20 kg = 1500 mL + [weight (kg) x 20 ml/kg/day]
