Unfortunately, there is more than one macrodrop. They normally range from about 10-20 drop per milliliter (gtt/mL).

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.

The safe rate to administer IV potassium is generally considered to be between 10-20 mEq per hour, with a maximum rate of 0.5-1 mEq per kg per hour. This rate may vary depending on the patient's clinical status and the specific potassium formulation being used. It is important to closely monitor electrolyte levels and cardiac function when administering IV potassium.
