What are intravenous drip set?
A device to control the rate of infusion of fluid, 10, 15 and 60 gtts/ml are the common ones. If you have a 10 drip set (10 gtts/ml) it will take 10 drops to make 1 ml
How many gtts to run 500ml in 60 minutes?
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.

What is the difference between micro drip and macro drip?
The drop factor differs (# of gtts/mL). A set that delivers large drops per mL (10-20 gtt/ml, usually 15) is called macrodrip set. One uses smaller gtts (60gtt/mL) is called microdrip. Usually the macrodrip set is used if the IV rate is to infuse > 100ml/hr. Vice versa, Microdrip < 100ml/hr volume. Here is the drip rate calculation: Volume (mL)/ time (min) x drip factor= gtt/min ranges 30-100 gtt/min.
How many gtts are in 5ml?
There are 5 gm in 5 ml.
1 cc is equal to how many gtts?
depends on the drop size, many are 60, some are less.
How many drops in 1.5 ml?
15 gtts (drops) = 1ml 1.5ml --> 15 gtts + (15/2=7.5) = 22.5 drops
What is a drop factor?
The drop factor is the number of drops in one milliliter used in iv fluid administration (also called drip factor) it is normally given to you by the manufacture on the iv administration set. It will either be 10, 15 or 20 gtts/min and for a micro drip 60 gtts/min.
2 gtts bid?
Two drops twice a day.
How much is 40 gtts to mL?
To convert drops (gtts) to milliliters (mL), the conversion factor typically used is that 20 drops equal 1 mL, though this can vary based on the liquid's viscosity and the dropper used. Therefore, to convert 40 gtts to mL, you would divide 40 by 20, resulting in 2 mL.
