Answer 1

Answer #1

225ml packed red blood cell run over 3 hours.

Volume per hour will be 75 ml

225ml = 3hours = 75ml/hr

So, we have to administer 75ml in 6 minutes.

Then volume per minute will be

75ml - 60min = 1.25ml/min

standard blood tubing is 10gtt/ml

The drop calculation formula is (Volumein ML/Timein MIN) x dropfactor

(75ml/60min) 10gtt/min = 12.5gtt/min

Answer - 75ml per hr and 12.5 gtt/min
