I did just throw the weight in as a "little extra". Although we do use weight based protocols to figure the dosages, we don't use them to figure up the cc/hr on the pump.
A trick they showed me when I started working was to just double the units/hr. If they want 1200unit/hr the pump will run at 24cc/hr. It works! Thank god, b/c I hate math:)
