Intravenous Computations Students

The document outlines three types of intravenous solutions: hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic, detailing their solute concentrations and examples. It also explains two types of tubing for IV administration and provides methods for calculating flow rates for manual and electronic regulation. Additionally, sample problems are included to illustrate the calculations for infusion times and rates.

3 TYPES OF INTRAVENOUS SOLUTIONS:

a. HYPERTONIC SOLUTION
b. HYPOTONIC SOLUTION
c. ISOTONIC SOLUTIONS

COMPUTATIONS
TWO TYPES OF TUBING:

a. MACROSET – 15gtts/mL; 20gtts/mL;


10gtts/mL
b. MICROSET – 60gtts/mL

DROP FACTOR – the number of drops it takes


to make up 1mL of fluid ; gtts/mL

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

 1 milliliters = 1cc
 1liter = 1000 milliliters
 1 hour = 60 minutes
