Rate Calculation

250ml to be infused in 2 hours 30 minutes.

When calculating rates, change the time of infusion into
minutes e.g. 2hours 30 mins = 150 mins, therefore to calculate
this rate: -

60 x 250 = 100 ml/hr

150

The rate of infusion is therefore 100ml/hr.
___________________________________________________

1000ml to be infused in 8 hour 30 minutes = 100ml/hr.

Again change the time of infusion into minutes, 8 hour 30
minutes = 510 minutes, to calculate this rate: -

60 x 1000 = 117.6 ml/hr

510

The rate of infusion is therefore 118 ml/hr

• Before you

start check
that your rate
calculations
are correct.

• Try these and

see how you
get on.
