cc –ml
Drops – gtts
Microdrops - µgtts or mcgtts
CALCULATION OF BASIC IV DRIPS
Volume of IV fluid X drop factor
IV drip = ___________________________________________________________________________________________
10 hrs X 60 min/hr
= 15000gtts

600min
= 25 gtts/min
CALCULATION OF BASIC IV DRIPS
Volume of IV fluid X drop factor
IV drip = ___________________________________________________________________________________________
10 hrs X 60 min/hr
= 1000mcgtts

10min
= 100 mcgtts/min
