FormulaRate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hours)

Clinical Pearls

Ensures accurate delivery of IV medications and fluids, preventing fluid overload or medication toxicity from excessively rapid administration.

Limitations

Assumes the use of an electronic infusion pump (mL/hr). For gravity/drip tubing, a drop factor (gtts/mL) is required to calculate drops per minute.
