A gravity device with microdrip (pediatric)tubing is ordered for 30 mL per hr.How many drops per minute will be set on the device?
Microdrip
A type of IV drip used to deliver small volumes of fluid, typically used in pediatric or critical care settings where precise fluid administration is required.
Drops Per Minute
A measurement of flow rate commonly used in medical settings, especially for IV fluids, indicating the number of drops in one minute.
- By employing Dimensional Analysis (DA) equations, accurately quantify IV fluid flow rates.
- Differentiate and identify the distinctions between microdrip and macrodrip IV tubing.
