How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the Total Volume of fluid to be infused in milliliters (mL). This is the complete amount of medication or solution to be administered.
2. Enter the Infusion Time in hours. This is the duration over which the infusion should be administered.
3. Click the Calculate button to compute the infusion rate in mL/hour.
4. The result will be displayed in the Infusion Rate field.

Example

If you need to infuse 500 mL of fluid over a period of 4 hours, the infusion rate would be:

Infusion Rate = 500 mL / 4 hours = 125 mL/hour

Practical Applications

This calculator is particularly useful for healthcare professionals in:

• Setting appropriate infusion rates for IV medications
• Ensuring accurate medication administration
• Preventing medication errors
