Description
This card walks you through two of the most commonly used IV medication formulas - converting dosing into cc/hr in either mg/min or mg/min/kg (alternatively: mcg/min or mcg/min/kg). It also simplifies the calculation if you need drops per minute using the chart on the reverse side. Drops per minute are used when an infusion pump is not available. It is also a basic skill that is learned by all paramedics and nurses.
