Clinical takeaway
Supports µg/kg/min, µg/min, mg/kg/h and mg/h.
When to use
Translate a weight-based or fixed dose order into a pump rate; round to the pump's increment and verify the dose range.
How it works
Concentration = amount ÷ volume. Pump rate (mL/h) = hourly drug amount ÷ concentration (including weight if weight-based).
Key points
- Supports µg/kg/min, µg/min, mg/kg/h and mg/h.
- Round to the pump's smallest adjustable increment.
- Check against the drug's usual dose range and maximum rate.
- High-alert drugs (vasoactive agents) need two-person verification.
