basic dosage calculation formula
(desired dose / amt on hand) * volume = dose [units/ml]
IV drop rate formula
(volume[ml] / time[min]) * drop factor [gtts/ml] = flow rate [gtts/min]
IV ml rate formula
(volume[ml] / time[hr] = flow rate [ml/hr]
dosage calculation by weight
weight[kg] * dosage [kg] = required dosage
amount in IV fluid
concentration%*100 * volume[ml] = dosage amount[g]
BSA metric
√(height [cm] × weight [kg]) ÷ 3600
BSA english
