you have orders to start a heparin infusion on your patient to start a 20units/kg/hour. your patient weighs 87kg. you have a bag of heparin supplied as 100units/ml. how many ml/hour do you set your IV pump?
ANSWER.
* Calculation of amount(ml/hr) set in IV pump.
ml/hr = Volume(ml) /Time (hr)
Order = 20 units/kg/hour.
Patient weight = 87 kg.
Amount(ml) of drug required.
Formula = Desired dose /Dose in hand *Quantity.
Dose required for the patient weight 87 kg = 20 *87
= 1740 unit/hour.
Dose in hand (H) = 100 unit.
Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.
As per formula
Amount (ml) required = D/H *Q
= 1740/100 *1
= 17.4 ml.
ml/hr set in the IV pump = 17.4/1
= 17.4 ml/hr.
