Enter the correct parameter value.
6.
Confirm whether the calculation result is correct.
The following formulas are applied to dose calculation:
Concentration = Amount / Volume
Inf. Rate = Dose / Concentration
Duration = Amount / Dose
Dose= Inf. Rate × Concentration
Dose (weight based) = Inf. Rate × Concentration / Weight
Drip Rate = Inf. Rate / 60 × Drop Factor
22.1.2 Calculation Unit
Each drug has the fixed unit or unit series to calculate. Among the same unit series, the unit
