Vasoactive Drip Calculations
Vasoactive Drip Calculations
Dopamine and Dobutamine (Rule of 15):
Concentration: 1ml/hr = 1mcg/kg/min 15 X Patient's weight (kg) = mg of drug in 250ml NS or D5W Example: 10 kg child 15 X 10 = 150mg in 250ml Solution: 1ml/hr = 1mcg/kg/min
Epinephrine [Rule of 15 (1.5 and 0.15)]:
Concentration: 1ml/hr = 0.1mcg/kg/min 1.5 X Patient's weight (kg) = mg of drug in 250 ml NS or D5W Example: 10 kg child 1.5 X 10 = 15mg in 250ml: 1ml/hr = 0.1mcg/kg/min
Concentration-1ml/hr = 0.01mcg/kg/min 0.15 X Patient's weight (kg) = mg of drug in 250ml NS or D5W Example: 10kg child 0.15 X 10 =1.5mg of drug in 250ml: 1ml/hr = 0.01mcg/kg/min
Pre-Mixed Dopamine:
*CHET Bag Concentration for Dopamine: (200mg/250ml solution) x 1000 = 800mcg/ml
To get 1cc/hr equals how many mcg/kg/min: (mg of Dopamine/cc of solution x 1000)/Kg Wt./60min
Example: For a 10 kg patient (*200mg/250cc x 1000)/10/60 or 800/10/60 = 1.333 1cc = 1.333mcg/kg/min
For All Pre-mixed Drugs:
To get ml/hr on the pump: Desired dose in mcg/kg/min x kg wt. x 60 min/hr
800 mcg/ml*
*CHET Bag Concentration for Dopamine: (*200mg/250ml solution) x 1000 = 800mcg/ml Remember to use different concentrations for different pre-mixed drugs
Example: To get 5mcg/kg/min for a 10kg patient: (5mcg/kg/min x 10kg x 60min/hr = 3.75ml/hr 800mcg/ml (Set Pump at 3.75ml/hr to get 5mcg/kg/min)
