How much flow rate in milliliters per hour is required to infuse 1500ml of D5W over 12 hours?

To determine the flow rate in milliliters per hour required to infuse 1500 ml of D5W over a time period of 12 hours, you can use the formula:

Flow Rate (ml/hr) = Total Volume (ml) / Total Time (hr).

In this case, the total volume is 1500 ml, and the total time is 12 hours.

Plugging these values into the formula gives you:

Flow Rate (ml/hr) = 1500 ml / 12 hr = 125 ml/hr.

This calculation shows that in order to complete the infusion of 1500 ml over a span of 12 hours, a flow rate of 125 ml per hour is required. It is important to perform these calculations accurately to ensure that the medication is delivered safely and effectively.
