Volume/Time – IV Drop Rate Questions
Given a certain amount of liquid, a time, and a drop factor (gtts/mL), what is the necessary IV flow rate in gtts/min? Measurement used when IV is regulated manually. Because it is not possible to give a patient a fraction of a drop, it is typical to round answers for these problems up or down to the nearest whole number.
Formula:
Volume (mL)
Time (min)
x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min)
Example: Calculate the IV flow rate for 1200 mL of NS to be infused in 6 hours. The infusion set is calibrated for a drop factor of 15 gtts/mL.
Volume (mL)
Time (min)
x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min)
Convert 6 hours to minutes.
min ← hr ( x by 60 )
6 hr x 60 = 360 min
1200 mL
360 min
x 15 gtts/mL = 50 gtts/min
Example: Calculate the IV flow rate for 200 mL of 0.9% NaCl IV over 120 minutes. Infusion set has drop factor of 20 gtts/mL.
Volume (mL)
Time (min)
x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min)
200 mL
120 min
x 20 gtts/mL = 33 gtts/min
