No confusion, thanks.

Ok, this isn't a question about clinical design protocol or durg specifications. Let me re-phrase the question... If I needed to deliver 50 ml of normal saline in 5 minutes to a 75 year old patient is this rate generally doable? Generally is the key word here, which excludes the caveats. Yes or no answer.

A question was asked regarding max flow rates for a piggyback IV bolus for an experimental new cardiac drug. The protocol calls for single delivery of 50 mL in 5 minutes ( 10 mL/min) using an infusion pump. The patient population would range in ages from about 25 to a max of 75 and would be treated for stable, but chronic heart failure. Is this dosage rate reasonable for that population?
