Calculation of infusion flow rate

Infusion flow rate is often calculated to determine the ml per dose or the micrograms per dose to administer drug to a patient.

The total dose to be administered= 500mg/250ml

if 500mg = 250ml

xmg = 1ml

make xmg the subject of formula,

xmg = 500 ×1 /250

xmg= 2 mg/ ml

To convert mg to mcg,

1 microgram = 0.001mg

X microgram= 2mg

Make X microgram the subject of formula,

X microgram= 2/0.001

= 2000 micrograms

if 1 hour ( 60 mins) = 2000 micrograms

1 minute = x micrograms

Make x micrograms the subject of formula,

x micrograms = 2000/60

= 33.33 mcg/min
