Drops per minute 

Another way of calculating IV flow is dividing the volume to be infused by the time(in minutes) then multiply by the drop factor.Example 800ml to be infused in 5hrs with a drop factor of 15.Answer... 800÷300×15=40gtt/min (make sure and convert your hours to minutes in this case I converted 5hrs to minutes which is 300mins)

Thank you so much you make it so easy to learn. You are appreciated, thank you!!

Brillint! Thanks for giving such a great shortcut.

Thank you so much. This video clarified content I’ve been trying to learn for weeks

The most easiest explanation ever. Thanks so much

I'm doing my ANP pharmacy section at the moment, your videos have been exceptionally helpful. Thank you

So glad to find this the night before our OB/Peds drug calc exam!

Best video I've seen on the subject!

Very easy to follow. Thanks and keep them coming

This is so helpful, thank you!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to post this wonderful teaching video for beginners like myself- you rock at teaching and hope to see more of your videos. can you do some on ratio and proportions math? lol

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for this video,it helped me a lot.God Bless You and Thanks again.

This is actually brilliant. Finally a light bulb has gone off in my brain.

Thank you After 11yrs This Is For Your Knowledge(From Africa 🇸🇴 )🙏

I am going to watch this video over and over again untill the moring of my nursing math exam!!! thanks for the upload!

Straight to the point thank you !

Straight forwards, I love this teaching.

Wahoooo this is not easy but you makes it easy thank you so much appreciated from the bottom of my heart

For #1 there is a formula, which I find to be easier. drops/min = (volume in mL x drop factor)/time in minutes

This method could apply to any drop factor. The drop factor will only be 10,15, or 20 (macro) or 60 (micro). The drop factor is determined by the IV drop chamber used

Perfect!! Thank you for your help!

@GanjaGuru91 the drop factor tells you how many drops for each ml. It is usually 20 for clear fluids and 15 for blood

I like the way you explained this & I'd love to see more of this... Thanks a bunch.

Thank you for this; it is very helpful. Love your accent too! :)

Thanks ...Your lesson are amazing

Thanks ma'am you absolutely simplified everything is explain your explain is very nice 👍👍👍

Thank you for a refresher calculation

Thank you so much for this clear explanation..

You absolutely simplified everything , I learned another method today, thanks a lot.

Your video is a ray of hope for all afraid of mathematics .

I understand that this is basic algebra, but it would help to show units while doing the calculations

I find this the easiest way to compute drop rates! that’s because I don’t have to deal with very big numbers! Thanks a lot! :))

Thank you so much for this video!

This is so clever thanks!!! would help at work :)

Really so easy to understand thank u

Thank you very much for upload this video it helps me to for my nursing preparation. Thanks a lot .I from nepal

Thanks you for your help . It was very easy to understand

Very Helpful!! Thanks a lot

Well explained and thanks a million, i now will blame you for a good grade on the math part of my next test lol

So simple ,best teaching ever

I appreciate this,it did remind me

omg so glad i found this channel

Its very helpful, keep on going

Hi. Thank you for sharing your video. I have a question though. On your 3rd example, what if I need to incorporate 32ml medication to the NSS, shoud I make it 132 instead of 100ml then do the math?

Wow, this just made it easier for me to understand this. Mind blowing! I have my PTCE in the morning and I'm getting last minute studying done. Thank you!

You have a very nice voice. It's so soothing :)

Thanks very much. you made my day.

You are absolutely right! Commonly, there are two types of IV Infusion set. These with 60 drops/min and those with 20 drops/min.

Thanks ur vedio is so helpful

such a genius

Thank you. This is amazing... :)

very simple. Thank you for sharing.

thank you :) great video x

Nyc video

I found it easier just converting the hrs to minutes and dividing that way and then multiplying by the drop rate. Cheers

thank u this is very easy explanation

Nice and easy indeed. Thanks 🙏

Many thanks i found very useful

Good work, I can teach my students. Thanks

This was amazingly helpful, and I'm terrible at math! Thank you! RN in Training

Very nicely done..

Wow. Thanks for the video. This will make my job easier!!!!!

Thanks for your effort

Very informative and thank you

Thanks very helpful

can you help me with this question?????????? whats the fastest and most easy way to go about solving this?

Thank you so much for this video! Great Video #Frank

Drop factor is number of drops to make 1 ml of infusion so multiply the total volume with drop factor and divide the result with total number of minutes you'll get the anwer :-)

thank you so much helps me alot

Thanku sooo much it is tooo easy now for me

So nice presentation tqqq

Sooo easy method ...thanks mam

Helpful thank you

Dexamethasone is available as a 4mg/ml preparation; an infant is to receive 0.35mg. The volume needed would be a miniscule 0.08mL, which is very difficult to accurately measure. Prepare a dilution so that the final concentration is 1mg/mL. How much diluent will you need if the original product is in a 1mL vial and you dilute the entire vial? What is the volume of final dose to be measured?

wow i've learned a lot in just 7:40 time! what more can u teach us when u're at school? :D nice one! thanks a lot!

I don’t work in that field and I understood.

Very well exlained. You should do meditation video's. You could talk about anything! your voice has made me drift away :)

TQ very useful

Very nice

Perfect

Most easiest explantion tnx

We can also solve it by changing minutes into hours ....it also gave correct answer

omg this more complicated just 100 divided by 50 =2 and multiple drip factor 20 so = 40 simple

THANK YOU .

verry nice.. good video..

Thank you so much!!!!!

👍👍👍

Really thankful 🤗🙂🙂🙂

If there isn't pure IV fluid, what should we do ?? How much drop factor??

Very easy thank u

Really you are 🙏

I learned something easier and not confusing formula...I hate math, fyi. I multiply hours to 60 minutes before i divide them to ml then multiply to drop factor equals the answer.

Why you make it so complicated? You just need to divide volume per hour by 3 or 4 to get the drops/min. (3for blood, 4 for crystalloid)

Hi please need help to solve this. Doctors order: infuse 50 mg of amphotericine B in 250 ml Normal saline over 4 hrs 15 minutes. Drop factor 12 drops/ml. What flow rate (ml/hr) will you set on IV infusion pump?

a nurse needs to administer 6 ml of X medicine in a solution of 150 ml. At what rate would you set transfusion of the medicine so the patient receives it at 1.5 ml/ min? Please break this down for me

Thankyou mam

I am somali: devide vol( ml) to hours convert to( minutes) then multiply drop factor that is my idea

Ok I understood everything but #4 I'm lost

very nic

Sooo super thank you madam
