What is an Infusion Rate?

The infusion rate is the rate at which a fluid is administered intravenously to a patient. It is typically measured in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). This calculation is crucial for ensuring that patients receive the correct amount of medication or fluids over a specified period.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Calculation:

\[ \text{INFR} = \frac{500}{5} = 100 \text{ mL/hr} \]

Example 2:

Calculation:

\[ \text{INFR} = \frac{1000}{8} = 125 \text{ mL/hr} \]
