Formula & Worked Example for IV Infusion Rate Calculation

Formula:
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = (Dose (mcg/kg/min) × Patient weight (kg) × 60) ÷ Concentration (mcg/mL)

Worked example:
Dose = 5 mcg/kg/min, Weight = 70 kg, Concentration = 100 mcg/mL

  • Infusion rate (mL/hr) = (5 × 70 × 60) ÷ 100 = 210 mL/hr

  • Equivalent drug amount = (5 × 70 × 60) ÷ 1000 = 21 mg/hr
