When utilizing manual infusion controllers, it is necessary to specify the drip rate (drops per minute). This may be determined using the formula below:
Drop rate = Drop factor x Volume/60 x Time (hours)
The last component of this formula is the drop factor. On some kinds of controllers, the size of each drop of liquid is determined by internal mechanics and cannot be changed. It is often written on the machine. This consistent quality creates the drop factor:
Drop factor = the number of drops required to fill one milliliter with fluid.
Two typical sizes are:
20 drops per milliliter (typically for clear fluids)
15 drops per milliliter (typically for thicker substances, such as blood)
Now that you've seen some examples, try if you can answer the tasks below (there are a mix of flow rate and drop rate questions).
