Common CalculationsNOT A <strong>TEST</strong>Print and use if you w<strong>is</strong>h<strong>1.</strong> To calculate mls(cc) per hour:total number of cc’s in the bag# of hours the IV <strong>is</strong> to run= # of cc/hr2. To calculate drops per minute:gtt/ml of set X total hourly volume (in mls./hr.) = gtts / min60 min. / hr(Our Abbott macro drip IV sets deliver 15 gtt/ml.)3. To calculate the amount of medicine in 1 cc:total amount of drug in the bag = amount of drug in 1 cctotal volume4. To calculate the amount of drug infusing per hour:amount of drug infusing/cc X amount of cc infusing/hr. = amt. of druginfusing/hr5. General medication calculation: (oral and IM)dose desired = amount to givedose on hand6.
