Considering an IV flow rate in cc/hour, calculate the flow rate of the same 1000 cc IV solution infusing over a period of 6 hours. The drop factor (gtts/cc) is the number of drops it takes to equal 1 cc for specific tubing in intravenous fluids. All packaging of fluids provides this information. Calculate the required drops per minute for a solution with a flow rate of 120 cc/hr and a drop factor of 15 gtts/cc.

00:01 Hello students welcome here in this question we have volume of a solution is given thousand cc is given and time is given six hours so first question is we have to find out the flow rate and this flow rate in second uh in minutes so second question flow rate for 120 cc and 15 factor so the factor is given here that is drop factor is 15 cc is given so for cc and this is the volume so we have to find out first cue here flow rate and in minutes we have to find out per minute so in hours we have to find out per minute so in hours we have to and we will have to find out per minute.
01:10 So first question, cube we have to find out.
01:13 Cube is equal to volume to time.
01:18 So volume is 1 ,000 cc is given, divided by time is given six hours.
01:29 So that is equal to 166 .67 cc per hour we will get here.
01:37 Now when we come to the next one, so we have to find out drops per minute we have to find out.
01:49 So here drop factor is given and cc per is given here.
01:54 That is this is q.
01:58 So cc per hour we have.
02:01 So the drop per hour we will calculate.
02:06 So that is equal to 1cc is getting how much here? 120 per hour and drop factor.
02:18 So that is equal to 15 drops per cc...
