Deck 19: Calculating Iv Infusion and Completion Times

Question 1

An IV medication in 25 mL is started at 8:10 am to run at 45 mL/hr. Calculate the infusion time and the completion time.

Answer 1

0.55 hour; 8:43 am
33 minutes; 8:43 am
25 mL ÷ 45 mL/hr = 0.55 hr
60 min/hr × 0.55 hr = 33 min
The infusion time is 33 minutes.
8:10 am + 0:33 = 8:43 am
The completion time is 8:43 am.

Question 2

With 370 mL remaining, a rate change to 68 mL/hr is ordered. It is 12:34 pm. Calculate the infusion time and the completion time.

Answer 2

5.44 hours; 6:00 pm
5 hours 26 minutes; 6:00 pm
370 mL ÷ 68 mL/hr = 5.44 hr
60 min/hr × 0.44 hr = 26.4 = 26 min
The infusion time is 5 hours 26 minutes.
12:34 pm + 5:26 = 17:60
60 min = 1 hr = 18:00
18:00 - 12:00 = 6:00 pm
The completion time is 6:00 pm.

Question 3

A medication is set at 1414 to infuse at a rate of 55 mL/hr. The volume of the medication is 140 mL. Calculate the infusion time and the completion time.

Answer 3

2.54 hours; 1646
2 hours 32 minutes; 1646
140 mL ÷ 55 mL/hr = 2.54 hr
60 min/hr × 0.54 hr = 32.4 = 32 min
The infusion time is 2 hours 32 minutes.
1414 + 2:32 = 1646
The completion time is 1646.
