 · 9 Basic Intravenous Calculations OBJECTIVES • Interpret basic intravenous (IV) solution orders for peripheral infusion. • Identify contents of commonly ordered IV fluids. • Identify average flow rates for adults who are NPO and the general rationale for variations. • Estimate, calculate, and verify flow rates for intermittent and continuous IV solutions on gravity and electronic devices. Therapy for this is aimed at rapid expansion of the ECF and is best accomplished by giving an rapid infusion of either normal saline or Ringer’s Lactate in a volume of 20 ml/kg (without glucose) over minutes. This volume should be repeated as often as necessary to reduce the patient’s capillary refill to. Fluid Resuscitation/Treatment of Dehydration For dehydration,shock,blood loss-isotonic Normal Saline or Lactated Ringers Give 20ml/kg as bltadwin.ru repeat your exam Repeat bolus if symptoms of dehydration are still present After patient shows improvement you can change to glucose containing IV fluids Calculate fluid need based on degree of dehydration and.

• Flow rate: the speed at which the IV fluid infuses expressed as volume over time (e.g., 20 ml/hr) • Drop factor: the number of drops in the IV drip chamber that is equivalent to 1 ml • Length of administration (Box 3) • Conversion factors All units of measure used in the formula must be the same when calculations are performed. If. IV to PO: IV infusion administer mg PO / day week IV infusion administer mg PO / day 3 week IV infusion administer mg PO / day Bumetanide (Bumex®) Use: diuretic Dose: mg/ dose IV push over mins; maximum 10 mg/day Continuous IV infusion: mg/hour Mix: may be given undiluted. An IV infusion set is used to administer fluids and medications directly into the blood stream. Infusion or flow rates are adjusted to the desired drops per minute by a clamp on the tubing. The flow rate is calculated by the nurse in drops per minute (gtts/min). To calculate this, one must know the.

IV NS @ mL/hr. 2). Vancomycin mg IV q8h Label Reads: Vancomycin mg/mL Parenteral Drug Manual: Dilute in mL minibag and administer over minutes. a) What volume of medication will you administer? b) Considering the IV rate you decide to administer it over _____ minutes. IV Glutathione Rx • Dose: to mg IV diluted in 20ml SW infused over min, x/wk • Push: grams IV post “Myer’s Cocktail” is a common dose once established on glut • Precautions: Rapid infusion can provoke respiratory distress, coughing, rhinorrhea, and vertigo. • Common clinical outcome: increased energy. the IV flow rate causing it to run ahead or behind schedule. If this occurs, you may want to temporarily recalculate the flow rate to get the IV back “on time”. While there is little concern about slowing an IV rate (even as slow as TKO), the same cannot be said for increasing an IV rate.
