There are 13,440 teaspoons in 140 pounds of sugar. (There are 96 teaspoons in a pound.)
140 drops equates to 1.4 US teaspoons.
What is a "gtt"
1
volume (ml) x drop factor (gtts/ml)Time (total minutes) gtts/ minute (flow rate)1500 ml iv saline over 12 hours, gtt factor15 gtts/ml , how many gtts/ minute need Tobe delivered?1500 ml x 15 (gtts/ ml) 12x60 720=31.25 or 31 gtts/ minute
There are 5 gm in 5 ml.
140 ml equals approximately 28 1/2 teaspoons.
To calculate the number of drops (gtts) needed to run 500 ml in 60 minutes, you first determine the flow rate in ml per minute, which is 500 ml / 60 minutes = 8.33 ml/min. If you know the drip factor of the IV set you are using (for example, 20 gtts/ml), you can calculate the number of drops per minute: 8.33 ml/min × 20 gtts/ml = 166.67 gtts/min. Therefore, to run 500 ml in 60 minutes, you would need approximately 167 gtts/min.
depends on the drop size, many are 60, some are less.
15 gtts (drops) = 1ml 1.5ml --> 15 gtts + (15/2=7.5) = 22.5 drops
A teaspoon is a unit of volume. MG (megagram) or mg (milligram) are unit of mass.
