I need some help w/drug calculations! Can someone show me how to do the following? Dopamine 500 mg/500 ml to run at 5mcq/kg/min. Pt wt is 80kg. What would the flow rate in ml
Thanks Brownie! I've always used the computer to figure out the drip rates for different drugs. I've forgotten how to set up the formulas. I want to thank everyone who's responded to my question....
Thanks! I may be dense or a little sleep deprived but the ratio is 1:1 divided by 60 is .02 X 80 Kg = 1.6 divided by 5mcq/kg/min =.32 X 60 = 19.2....is that
