How Do You Calculate mL per Hour?
If you simply need to figure out the mL per hour to infuse, take the total volume in mL, divided by the total time in hours, to equal the mL per hour. For example, if you have 1,000 mL NS to infuse over 8 hours, take 1,000 divided by 8, to equal 125 mL/hr. To calculate the drops per minute, the drop factor is needed.

How do you find mL per minute?

If we divide 25 drops per minute by 15 drops per millilitre, we get how many millilitres per minute = 1.67 ml/min. If we then divide 1000ml by 1.67 ml per minute we get 600 minutes.

How do you calculate infusion time?

infusion time (hr) = total volume (mL) รท flow rate (mL/hr)
