Hello.
For the most part I understand IV math (gtt/min, ml/he etc), but I am having a hard time with unit type questions. I have looked throughout medspub and several websites that I normally use. All the help I have found up to this point is that 1mL = 100 units, but I still cant figure out how to solve these type of problems.
Ordered: Heparin 25,000u/500mL to run at 1200u/hr
How many ml/hr will I start pump at?
**** I don't understand how the answer 24mL/hr. Is there a formula for these problems, I am sorry but I am so confused.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
