How long would it take in hours to administer exactly 500 mL of fluid through an IV with a drop factor of

30 gtt/mL. if the drip rate is 60 gttmin?

4.167 hours

Explanation:

The drop factor is the amount of fluid falling for one millimeter of fluid in gttt/ml.

The flow rate is the volume administered for a specific period of time in ml/hr = volume / time

The unit of drip rate is gtt/min

The formula that shows the relationship is:

Drip rate = flow rate × drop factor

Given that:

Drip rate = 60 gtt / min, Flow rate = volume / time = 500 ml / t, drop factor = 30 gtt/ml

Drip rate = flow rate × drop factor

60 = 500 / t × 30

500 / t = 60/30

500 / t = 2

2t = 500

t = 500/2

t = 250 mins

1 hr = 60 min

t = 250 / 60 hours = 4.167 hours
