Infusion Rate Per Hour

-- mL/hr --

Calculation Formula

Infusion Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL) / Infusion Time (hours)

Where:
- Total Volume (mL): The total volume of fluid to be infused.
- Infusion Time (hours): The duration over which the fluid is to be infused.

Infusion Rate Per Hour Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Infusion Rate Per Hour Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total volume of the fluid to be infused in milliliters (mL).
  2. Enter the duration of the infusion in hours.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the infusion rate per hour.
  4. The result will be displayed in milliliters per hour (mL/hr).

Principle and Working

The infusion rate per hour is calculated by dividing the total volume of the fluid by the infusion time. This rate is crucial for ensuring that patients receive the correct amount of fluids over a specific period, especially in medical settings.

Example

If you need to infuse 1000 mL of fluid over a period of 8 hours, the infusion rate would be:

Infusion Rate = 1000 mL / 8 hours = 125 mL/hr
