gtt means a drop. It is a very small quantity. Generally speaking, there are about 20 drops in 1 mL, which would mean that one drop is 1/20 of a mL or 0.05 mL. That's just an approximation. Exact measurements are impossible without extremely precise measuring instruments. Of course, with more viscous substances this measurement would be different; these approximations generally apply only to water or other aqueous substances.
What else can I help you with?
If you have 1 gtt what is that equal to in a teaspoon?
1 tsp is equal to 5ml. 1 gtt ( 1 drop) is equal to 0.05 ml....because 20 drops in 1 ml. so 5ml divided by 0.05= 100 gtt or drops. so I think 100 gtt or drops in 1 tsp.
How many ml in 30 gtt?
It depends on the drop factor of the particular dropper that you are using. The volume of 30 drops can vary depending on the drop size. Generally, for water, 20 drops is approximately equal to 1 milliliter.
How many drops per minute will you give if the order is 500 ml of D5W in 5 hours the drip factor is 15 gtt equals 1 ml?
To calculate the drops per minute needed for the 500 ml of D5W to be administered over 5 hours, first, convert 5 hours to minutes (5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes). Then calculate the drops per minute by dividing the total volume (500 ml) by the time in minutes (300 minutes) and the drip factor (15 gtt/mL), i.e., 500 ml / 300 min x 15 gtt/mL = 25 gtt/min.
How do you calculate drip rate of an IV solution?
You need to know the drip rate of your tubing (microdrop 60 or macrodrop 10, 15, or 20 - amount of drops per mL of fluid), the amount of fluid to be administered, the time over which it should be infused, as well as if you want your answer to be in drops per minute or milliliters per hour (using a machine or going old school). You then set up your equation more or less as follows (example using gtt/min, macrodrop tubing 15/1mL, 200 mL of solution over 2 hours) ... x gtt/min = 15 gtt/1 mL x 200 mL/2 hrs x 1 hr/60 min Then solve for x... x= 25 gtt/min

How many gtt in one milliliter?
It depends on what you're measuring. g is the measurement for mass, while ml is the measurement for volume.Quote from another wiki answer:mL is a measure of volumeg is a measure of massYou need to know the density of the substance you are asking about if you want to convert between volume and mass:Volume (mL) = mass (g) / density (g/mL)Read more: 1_g_is_how_many_ml
