A 70 years old client is admitted to the hospital with lower GI bleeding. His hemoglobin on admission is 7 g/dl. The doctor orders 2 units of packed red blood cells to infuse over 2 hours each. The blood administration set has a drip factors of 10gtt/ml. How much flow rate should you regulate the blood?

How many miloleters are in a liter?
This conversion is impossible.A millimetre is unit of length and the litre is a unit of volume.
How many dekaliters in a milliliter?
A millimetre is a unit of distance. A decilitre is a unit of capacity. The two units are therefore incompatible.
How many milliliters are in a unit of wine?
236.58 ml 1 ounce = 29.57 ml 1 ml = 0.03 ounce
How many ml in 18 milligrams?
1 US fluid ounce = 29.5735296 ml 18 US fluid ounce = 532.3235328 ml
25 liters how many ml?
A gram is the unit of mass and a mL is an unit of volume. For water 19 g is 19 mL; for other fluids you need to know the density because M=V X d.
If you use a 1 ml insulin syringe how many units would you draw up?
In a 1 mL insulin syringe, the markings typically represent units of insulin, not milliliters. The number of units you would draw up in a 1 mL insulin syringe depends on the concentration of the insulin you are using. Common insulin concentrations are 100 units/mL and 50 units/mL. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 100 units/mL and you want to draw up a certain number of units, you simply draw up that number of units on the syringe. For example, if you want to draw up 10 units of insulin, you would fill the syringe to the 10 unit mark on the syringe. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 50 units/mL, then each unit on the syringe represents 2 units of insulin. So, to draw up 10 units of insulin in this case, you would fill the syringe to the 5 unit mark. Always make sure to use the correct insulin concentration and syringe to accurately measure and administer your insulin dose. If you are unsure about the concentration or how to use the syringe, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for guidance.
How many cc's in 1 unit of insulin?
1 cc=100 units of Insulin so, 1 unit=0.01 cc Insulin
30 unit of 40 iu insulin is equal to how much unit of 100 iu insulin?
IU is international units and it's same whether it's of 40 IU or 100 IU insulin. But one is supposed to use 40 iu syringe for 40 IU and 100 IU syringe for 100 IU insulin. You take 30 units in corresponding syringe, dose is gonna remain same. If you interchange the syringe then things get complicated and need to do some math. So for 30 units of 40 IU insulin and want to use 100 IU/ml syringe then you need to use 75 units of 40 IU in 100 IU syringe. Avoid interchange of syringe to be safe.
How many cc does a insulen needle hold?
I think that you are referring to the insulin syringe,not the needle. The standard insulin syringe holds one cc, divided into 100ths, which is equal to one UNIT of insulin. It is imperative that you are using a U100 insulin solution with a U100 syringe. If you don't, the incorrect dosage could be catastrophic. There are some smaller insulin syringes that only hold 0.5 cc (making them half the size of the 1cc). They are STILL marked properly for U100 insulin even though they are smaller in size. Hope that this helps!!clkfrau1@aol.com
What is the difference between a tuberculin syringe and an insulin syringe -?
They are made for administration of specific measurements of either insulin or the antigen for TB testing called PPD (Purified Protein Derivative). Both types of syringes are calibrated into "units". Unit measurements are fixed measures but specific to each type of medicine/solution as to their volume. A unit of insulin is not the same thing as a unit of TB antigen, so the TB syringe can not be used in the place of an insulin syringe. Insulin is administered with the insulin syringe "subcutaneously" (under the skin) in the subcutaneous (sub Q) tissue. The needle is slightly longer than that on a TB syringe. The antigen solution is administered in the TB test "intradermally" (within the skin/between the layers of the skin) instead of under the skin, so the needle is shorter. The amount of liquid in a dose of TB antigen is much smaller than the amount usually given of insulin. Therefore, the barrel of the TB syringe is smaller in diameter to allow such very small amounts (drops) of antigen to be measured. In addition, insulin syringes come in two scales of measurement: U-100 and U-40. This on the label of the syringes indicates which type of insulin they are made to measure and administer. The insulin vial will also be marked either "U-100" or "U-40". One strength is 100 units of insulin per mL and the other is 40 units of insulin per mL. A different insulin syringe is need to measure U-100 than the type used to measure U-40. Unit calibration on the syringe used must be matched to the "strength" of the insulin being used. U-100 insulin has 1/100 of a mL volume per unit (equal also to 1/100 of a cc). U-40 insulin has 1/40 of a mL volume per unit.

1 unit of insulin equals how many mls?
Answer1 unit insulin = 45.5 micro-gram pure crystalline insulin. This cannot be compared to strength of insulin solution.
How many milliliters are in one second?
Milliliters are an unit of volume, second is a unit of time. you might as well ask how many gallons there are in a year.
How many milliliters equal a milligrams?
Milliliters and milligrams are not equivalent unit types.
How many milliliters are in 4.5 centimeters?
Milliliters are a unit of volume, and centimeters are a unit of length. You can't convert from milliliters to centimeters.
If you have come to your doctor for a hepatitis b vaccination which unit would the doctor use to measure the amount of drug in the syringe?
cc (cubic centimeters), which is equivalent to mL (milliliters).
How many hectometers are in 18.2 milliliters?
You cannot convert milliLITERs to hectoMETERs. One is a unit of volume and the other is a unit of length or distance.
