Answer:
Explanation:
Drip rate of Dopamine (ml/hr)
= (ordered dose in mcg/kg/min * weight in kg * 60) divided by (dopamine concentration in mg/ml * 1000)
NOTE:
The ordered dose is in the manner multiplied by the patient’s weight and by 60 (in the numerator of the above formula). 60 indicate the number of minutes in an hour (since dopamine drip rate is expressed in ml per hour). It is expressed in microgram per kilogram per minute
To give Dopamine injection 200 mg in
250 cc D5W to infuse at 5 mcg/Kg/min to the patient whose weight is 50 Kg, then an infusion
pump should be set on 19cc/hour
