mcg/kg/min

8 mg = 8000mcg, so you have 8000 mcg in a 1000 mL bag which is the equivalent of 8 mcg per mL

Your patient is being infused at 60 mL per hour which is equal to 1mL per minute

The 1 mL has 8 mcg in it

so you would divide the 8 mcg by the patients weight in KG (90)

which equals 0.0888888 which rounds to 0.09 mcg/kG/min

I think that's right. I need to review formulas for my 2nd dosage calculations class this summer. Hopefully daytonite will come by and do it for you.

daytonite I think this patient is a different weight-90 kg. I don't see this in my calc with confidence book. Just how to take your mcg/kg/min and figure your per hour rate.
