Infusion Rate Calculations:
mcg/kg/hr
What does 1ml/hr of the infusion equal in mcg/kg/hr?
How do I calculate the rate in mls/hr of the infusion to deliver mcg/kg/hr?
Convert the total dose of drug added to the syringe to micrograms (mcg)
Multiply the specified dose (in mcg/kg/ hr) by patient's weight (in kg)
Divide this by patient's weight (in kg)
Divide this number by the drug dose in the syringe (must be in mcg)
Divide by total volume in syringe
Multiply this by total volume in syringe
You can then multiply this by the rate of the infusion (mls/hr) to get the dose (in mcg/kg/hr) being delivered
This calculated number will be the rate required in mls/hr to provide an
infusion at a rate of mcg/kg/hr
Infusion Rate Calculations:
mcg/kg/min
What does 1ml/hr of the infusion equal in mcg/kg/min?
How do I calculate the rate in mls/hr of the infusion to deliver mcg/kg/min?
Convert the total dose of drug added to the syringe to micrograms (mcg)
Multiply the specified dose (in mcg/kg/ min) by patient's weight (in kg)
Divide this by patient's weight (in kg)
Multiply this number by 60
Divide this number by 60
Divide this number by the drug dose in the syringe (must be in mcg)
Divide by total volume in syringe
You can then multiply this by the rate of the infusion (mls/hr) to get the dose (in mcg/kg/
min) being delivered
Multiply this by total volume in syringe
This calculated number will be the rate required in mls/hr to provide an infusion at a rate of mcg/kg/min
