Flow rate AKA
Infusion rate / hourly rate
Flow rate indicates
and can only read in
a pump in use
ML/hr
Drip rate
answer is always in..
how fast a medication is infusing
gtt/min
Always a whole number
Drop factor
always written as
size of tubing
gtt/ml
Drop factor is the #of ___ to make ____
of drops to make 1 ML using particular tubing
Drip rate = formula
Drip rate = Drop factor X flow rate
Micro tubing
Used primarily in ped and geri patients
Used when flow rate is less than 100 comes only in 60gtt/ml
Macro tubing
used when flow rate is 100 or more
10,15,20 gtt/ml
