Infusion_factors v.1
Calculates the drop rate, infusion volume and/or drop time for continuous infusions.
Used to calculate quantities for continuous infusions.
Depending on which two of the three infusion factors are provided, the guideline calculates the third. Drop rate = Drop factor x Volume (ml)/60 x Time (hours) Infusion volume (L) = (Drop rate x 60 x Time (hours))/(Drop factor x 1000) Drop time (hours) = (Drop factor x Volume (ml))/(60 x Drop rate) Drop factor for clear fluids = 20 drops per ml
Not to calculate rate, volume or time other than for infusion fluids.
