I'm a newbie too but I think if you wanted 50 ml to go in over 1/2 hour you'd set the pump for 100 ml/hr and set the VTBI at 50 ml.

If you wanted 75 ml to go in over 1/2 hour you'd multiply by 2 to get 150 ml/hr and the VTBI would still be 75, because it's the total amount you want to go in during the infusion. If you wanted 75 ml over 15 minutes you'd multiply by 4 to get 300 ml/hr with a VTBI of 75 ml.

I think that's right, somebody please tell me if I'm not.

Maggie&Sally-------------What are you asking....I think I might know however if Im right this question is just way to easy.
If you want to run in 50 ml in 1/2 hour then the rate of flow would be 100 ml per hour. If you want to run in 50 ml in 15 minutes then the rate of flow would be 200 ml. Is that the question you are asking?

I thought it was just me! If it's that easy, I'm bothered that this has to be asked.
