Re: dose calculation during infusion
I practice a simple universal formula for syringe infusion pump. X mg in 50ml= X/3 micro gm/min if going @ 1ml/hr
Thus 400mg dopa in 50ml> 400/3=133 mics/min when flow set at 1ml/hr. One can use it with any drug, any combination; keep 50 ml syringe and 1ml/hr fixed in mind.
