Most common drip sets include 10 gtts/ml regular drip set
Feb 24 2010 Macrodrip sets are either 10 15 or 20 drops to deliver 1 ml of fluid. Use this formula to calculate gravity flow rates Drops/min ml/hr divided by 60 min/hr x drop factor. Examples A. IV fluid of 1000ml to infuse for 8 hours using tubing with drop factor of 15. 1000ml for 8 hours = 125ml/hr.
The following IV drops per minute chart is a quick reference guide for the number of drops to be infused per minute with the known factor of the desired hourly infusion rate. A healthcare provider must also have a working knowledge of the variable administration set drop factor.
The following table helps determine the approximate flow rate based upon the drops formed at the drip chamber on a gravity set over a 15 second period. Carefully watch and count the drops in the drip chamber over a 15 second period to help correlate the approximate corresponding flow rate.
