CALCULATING IV FLOW RATES
Using the following formula will help you to calculate your manual IV drip rate:
V x gtt factor (gtt/ mL) = gtt/ min
T
V = volume of solution to be infused (in mL)
T = time over which the solution is to be infused (in min)
gtt factor = drops/ mL (can be found on the IV tubing packaging)
6.

or _____ gtt/ mL.
7.
