To calculate the flow rate (\(FR\)):
\[ FR = \frac{Dosage \times 60}{Concentration} \]
Where:
The conversion from mg/min to ml/hr is commonly used in medical settings, especially for calculating the flow rate of intravenous (IV) infusions. It allows healthcare providers to set up IV pumps and administer medications at the correct rate, ensuring that patients receive the proper amount of medication over time.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ FR = \frac{5 \times 60}{2} = 150 \text{ ml/hr} \]
The flow rate is 150 ml/hr.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ FR = \frac{10 \times 60}{4} = 150 \text{ ml/hr} \]
The flow rate is 150 ml/hr.
