24 Ιουν 2019 · Intravenous (IV) therapy is the infusion of fluid directly into the vein of a patient, usually via a cannula. There are various indications for a fluid infusion, including replacement of electrolytes, restoration of blood volume or maintenance in the surgery-staved patient.
To calculate the gtt/min, multiply the infusion rate (mL/hr) by the IV drop factor (gtt/min) found on the IV tubing, then divide by the infusion time in minutes. For example, a fluid that is to be infused at a rate of 75 mL/hr via 15 gtt tubing would infuse at a rate of 19 gtt/min [ (75 × 15)/60 = 18.75 gtt/min].
