What is Infusion Speed?

Infusion Speed refers to the rate at which a fluid is administered into the body, typically measured in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). This calculation is crucial in medical settings to ensure that patients receive the correct amount of medication or fluids over a specified period. By calculating the infusion speed, healthcare providers can accurately control the delivery rate of intravenous treatments.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Infusion Speed (IS):

\[ IS = \frac{V}{T} = \frac{500}{4} = 125 \text{ mL/hr} \]

The Infusion Speed (IS) is 125 mL/hr.
