Another way of calculating IV flow is dividing the volume to be infused by the time(in minutes) then multiply by the drop factor.Example 800ml to be infused in 5hrs with a drop factor of 15.Answer... 800÷300×15=40gtt/min (make sure and convert your hours to minutes in this case I converted 5hrs to minutes which is 300mins)
Thank you for taking time out of your day to post this wonderful teaching video for beginners like myself- you rock at teaching and hope to see more of your videos. can you do some on ratio and proportions math? lol
Hi. Thank you for sharing your video. I have a question though. On your 3rd example, what if I need to incorporate 32ml medication to the NSS, shoud I make it 132 instead of 100ml then do the math?
This method could apply to any drop factor. The drop factor will only be 10,15, or 20 (macro) or 60 (micro). The drop factor is determined by the IV drop chamber used
Hi please need help to solve this. Doctors order: infuse 50 mg of amphotericine B in 250 ml Normal saline over 4 hrs 15 minutes. Drop factor 12 drops/ml. What flow rate (ml/hr) will you set on IV infusion pump?
Dexamethasone is available as a 4mg/ml preparation; an infant is to receive 0.35mg. The volume needed would be a miniscule 0.08mL, which is very difficult to accurately measure. Prepare a dilution so that the final concentration is 1mg/mL. How much diluent will you need if the original product is in a 1mL vial and you dilute the entire vial? What is the volume of final dose to be measured?
a nurse needs to administer 6 ml of X medicine in a solution of 150 ml. At what rate would you set transfusion of the medicine so the patient receives it at 1.5 ml/ min? Please break this down for me
@@aditya_anchal There are differences among various continents and countries, but the essence of calculating IV flow is the same. By the way, I had totally forgotten that I had made that comment, since in my faculty we use ml/hr and IV pumps. Hardly have I used the drops/min format, except in blood transfusions in patients with heart failure or compromised cardiovascular profile.
Wow, this just made it easier for me to understand this. Mind blowing! I have my PTCE in the morning and I'm getting last minute studying done. Thank you!
Drop factor is number of drops to make 1 ml of infusion so multiply the total volume with drop factor and divide the result with total number of minutes you'll get the anwer :-)

poker stunner thank you for your help..😊
Thank u
Simple and clear!
Bless you Poker Stunner. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
If not ask hour ,and continue drip ....so what do????
Thank you so much you make it so easy to learn. You are appreciated, thank you!!
I'm doing my ANP pharmacy section at the moment, your videos have been exceptionally helpful. Thank you
Thanks ma'am you absolutely simplified everything is explain your explain is very nice 👍👍👍
Thank you so much. This video clarified content I’ve been trying to learn for weeks
Brillint! Thanks for giving such a great shortcut.
Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for this video,it helped me a lot.God Bless You and Thanks again.
The most easiest explanation ever. Thanks so much
Best video I've seen on the subject!

Thank you After 11yrs This Is For Your Knowledge(From Africa 🇸🇴 )🙏
I am going to watch this video over and over again untill the moring of my nursing math exam!!! thanks for the upload!
So glad to find this the night before our OB/Peds drug calc exam!
@GanjaGuru91 the drop factor tells you how many drops for each ml. It is usually 20 for clear fluids and 15 for blood
Straight forwards, I love this teaching.
This is actually brilliant. Finally a light bulb has gone off in my brain.
This method could apply to any drop factor. The drop factor will only be 10,15, or 20 (macro) or 60 (micro). The drop factor is determined by the IV drop chamber used
I like the way you explained this & I'd love to see more of this... Thanks a bunch.
Thanks ...Your lesson are amazing
This is so helpful, thank you!
For #1 there is a formula, which I find to be easier. drops/min = (volume in mL x drop factor)/time in minutes
Thank you very much for upload this video it helps me to for my nursing preparation. Thanks a lot .I from nepal
Wahoooo this is not easy but you makes it easy thank you so much appreciated from the bottom of my heart
Thank you so much for this clear explanation..
This is so clever thanks!!! would help at work :)
Hi please need help to solve this.
Doctors order: infuse 50 mg of amphotericine B in 250 ml Normal saline over 4 hrs 15 minutes. Drop factor 12 drops/ml. What flow rate (ml/hr) will you set on IV infusion pump?
I understand that this is basic algebra, but it would help to show units while doing the calculations
can you help me with this question?????????? whats the fastest and most easy way to go about solving this?
If there isn't pure IV fluid, what should we do ?? How much drop factor??
Perfect!! Thank you for your help!
Thank you for this; it is very helpful. Love your accent too! :)
Yeah it is really good

Your video is a ray of hope for all afraid of mathematics .
Well explained and thanks a million, i now will blame you for a good grade on the math part of my next test lol
Can you please explain what exactly is the drop factor? Thanks
Its very helpful, keep on going
Thanks you for your help . It was very easy to understand
I find this the easiest way to compute drop rates! that’s because I don’t have to deal with very big numbers! Thanks a lot! :))
So simple ,best teaching ever
Straight to the point thank you !
omg so glad i found this channel
You absolutely simplified everything , I learned another method today, thanks a lot.
Learnt or learned??🤣💚🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
What is 60 that u divided in drop factor plz tell me
Thank you so much for this video!
Really so easy to understand thank u
You have a very nice voice. It's so soothing :)
In question no.2
Y didn't u convert 8hrs into minutes...
And u claimed 42ml as answer....he can it b..pls explain mam
How do you work out what Time it would take to deliver 200 mililitres using drip rate of 30 drops per minute
Thanks very much. you made my day.
Hye Miss why 125 suddenly divided by 3 , where the number 3 comes from???
very simple. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate this,it did remind me
Thank you for a refresher calculation
can you please try to help me with this problem:
An IV is set to deliver 30 drops/min. What is the infusion rate in ml/hr if there are 15 drops/ml?
infusion rate in ml/hr= 30drops/1(mint)×60/15= 120ml/hr.
Thanks ur vedio is so helpful
Mam please explain if we have drop factor 60
Very informative and thank you
Wow. Thanks for the video. This will make my job easier!!!!!
So nice presentation tqqq
Many thanks i found very useful
such a genius
Nyc video
Very Helpful!! Thanks a lot
More video of gravimetric calculation
85ml per hour. How to set pls tell me how many drops per minute
Nice and easy indeed. Thanks 🙏
a nurse needs to administer 6 ml of X medicine in a solution of 150 ml. At what rate would you set transfusion of the medicine so the patient receives it at 1.5 ml/ min? Please break this down for me
Due October
Very nicely done..
wow i've learned a lot in just 7:40 time! what more can u teach us when u're at school? :D nice one! thanks a lot!
Thank you. This is amazing... :)
alexis rusca Hiiii
You are absolutely right!
Commonly, there are two types of IV Infusion set. These with 60 drops/min and those with 20 drops/min.
Actually in India there are two type.. micro (64 drops) and macro (16 drops)

Ma'am what does drop factor mean?
Wow, this just made it easier for me to understand this. Mind blowing! I have my PTCE in the morning and I'm getting last minute studying done. Thank you!
Good Luck!
How it goes? I hope you made it!!! I have mine before end of this month so im a little nervous but im determined;)
thank u this is very easy explanation
So what you are saying is- it depends on your admin. tubing? macro or micro gtts sets right? Idk about blood admin tho.
Thanks for your effort
I found it easier just converting the hrs to minutes and dividing that way and then multiplying by the drop rate. Cheers
It's easier to just convert the hours to minutes and then divide.
Good work, I can teach my students. Thanks
This was amazingly helpful, and I'm terrible at math! Thank you!
RN in Training
thank you :) great video x
mam i dint got how drop factor is getting to 3 and 4
Most easiest explantion tnx
Thanks very helpful
Sooo easy method ...thanks mam
Drop factor is number of drops to make 1 ml of infusion
so multiply the total volume with drop factor and divide the result with total number of minutes
you'll get the anwer :-)
Very well exlained. You should do meditation video's. You could talk about anything! your voice has made me drift away :)
Teaching method is good clearly understand
thank you so much helps me alot
Very linthy
Thank you so much for this video! Great Video #Frank
I don’t work in that field and I understood.
Very nice
Thanku sooo much it is tooo easy now for me
Helpful thank you
TQ very useful
We can also solve it by changing minutes into hours ....it also gave correct answer
verry nice.. good video..
How do they come up with drop factor?
Shana Reid the IV fluids come with a drop factor printed on the bag
What is a drop factor?
mam what if the drop factor is 10gtts
