    This document provides instructions and examples for calculating continuous rate intravenous (CRI) dilutions. It includes conversions between units and examples of CRI calculations for dose per kg/hr, dose per kg/day, and dose per kg/min using different drug concentrations, infusion rates, patient weights, and volumes. All calculations involve determining the total drug amount, concentration in the syringe or bag, and rate or volume of infusion over a given time period.
