Volume / weight infusions
The following volume/weight modes may be available
on a pump: mL/kg/min and mL/kg/hr.
Volume/weight infusion rate calculations allow
programming by:

Patient’s weight
•
Volume of drug per kilogram of weight
•
Volume limit, KVO, loading dose, or bolus
dose may also be programmed (these options
are only available if they have been enabled
in the custom program using PharmGuard

hr to achieve the required drug dose. To program
a volume/weight infusion, at the selection menu,
choose either

a drug program that uses the volume/weight mode
infusion type). Choose the syringe model and size,
and load the syringe as instructed on page 33.
