Infusion Fluid Needs Calculation

1. Macro (seen from Infusion Set = 20 GTT / min)
   If you want to find out is how many drops should we look to the capital we know the amount of fluid that should be included and the length of time, then the formula is:
   Drops / minutes: (the amount of fluid x 20) / (Infusion Long x 60)
   If you are looking for is the old fluid will run out, then the formula is as follows:
   Long infusion: (Total Fluid x 20) / (number of droplets within minutes x 60)
   For example: a patient should receive 500 ml of fluid therapy within 4 hours, then the number of droplets that we should give is (500 x 20) / (4 x 60) = 10000/240 = 41.7 = 42 drops / minute as did to the formula long infusion stay behind wrote.
2. Micro (Judging from the infusion set = 60 GTT / min)
   Hose is a hose intravenous infusion micro tetesannya a smaller number of macros, there is usually a small metal hose, and is usually used for infants, children and patients of heart and kidney. The formula for calculating the number of tetesannya are as follows:
   Number of drops / minute: (The amount of liquid x 60) / (Infusion Long x 60)
   While duration of fluid discharged formula is as follows:
   Length of time: (Total Fluid x 60) / (number of droplets within minutes x 60)
