Amikacin 80 mg is ordered ivpb q12 h. the amikacin is dissolved in 100 ml d5w and is to be infused over 30 minutes. with a tubing drop factor of 15 gtt/ml, how many drops per minute should be given?

50 drops per minute

Explanation:

Tubing drop factor = 15 gtt/mL

Amount of fluid to be infused = 100 mL

Time = 30 minutes

A drop is denoted by gtt

The equation to find drops per minute (IV rate) is given by

gtt/min = Tubing drop factor×(Amount of fluid to be infused/time)

⇒gtt/min = 15×(100/30)

⇒gtt/min = 50

So, 50 drops per minute should be given.
