67. Happy Camper Wanta hear Santa again? Click here 

69. Weight is 550 pounds Dosage is 30 ml/lb 550 lb x 30 ml/lb = 16500 ml 16,500 ml  1000 ml/liter = 16.5 liters

70. You need to give fluids to a 22-pound dog at a rate of 10 ml/kg/hr. Your dripset delivers 15 drops per ml. How many drops per minute do you set it at? 25 55 62.5 100 400 1500 Fluids 300

71. Get the hint? Try again

72. Weight = 22 lb Dosage = 10 ml/kg/hr Dripset= 15 d/ml Convert to the same unit of measure: –22  2.2 lb/kg = 10 kg dog Multiply Wt x dosage –10 kg x 10 ml/kg/hr = 100 ml/hr= How many mls in 1 hour Multiply by drops per ml delivered by dripset –100 ml/hr x 15 drops/ml = 1500 drops/hr Since you don’t want to count for a whole hour, divide by 60 to get drops per minute –1500 d/hr  60 min/hr = 25 d/min

73. You betcha!

74. You need to administer maintenance fluids (30 ml/lb) to a 600 lb alligator. Your dripset delivers 10 drops/ml What do you need to set your drip rate at in order for him to get the right amount of fluids over a 24-hour period? 10d/min 50 d/min 60 d/min 100 d/min 125 d/min 150 d/min Fluids 400

77. 600 lb gator Dosage 30 ml/lb/d Dripset 10 d/ml Calculate total volume needed (ml). (This is weight times dosage stuff again) –600 lb x 30 ml/lb= 18,000 ml/day Multiply by drops/ml the dripset delivers to get drops per day –18,000ml/day x 10 d/ml = 180,000 drops/day Divide by 24 hours in a day to get drops per hour –180,000d/day  24hrs/day = 7500 drops per hour Divide by 60 minutes per hour to get drops per minute –7500drops/hr  60min/hr =125 drops per minute

78. You are giving IV fluids at 27.5 ml/lb/day to a 200 gram rat. Your dripset delivers 60 drops/ml. What do you need to set your drip rate at? 1 drop every hour 1 drop every 15 minutes 1 drop every 2 minutes 1 drop per minute 2 drops per minute 15 drops per minute Fluids 500

79. I don’t feel so good… try again!

80. Try again, matey…

81. You are number one!!! Good job!

82. 200 g rat 27.5 ml/lb/day Dripset 60 drops/ml Convert to the same unit of measure –200 g = 0.2 kg –27.5 ml/lb/day x 2.2 lb/kg = 60 ml/kg/day Multiply weight times dosage –0.2 kg x 60 ml/kg/day = 12 ml/day Divide by 24 to get mls per hour –12  24 = 0.5 ml/hr Then… Go to next slide

83. Now, when you are dealing with a 60 drop/ml dripset, life becomes easier. So far we’ve figured out that we need 0.5 ml/hr for Ratsy. The next two steps cancel each other out with a 60 d/ml set! Normally you would have to multiply by the number of drops/ml the dripset delivers, and divide by 60 minutes in an hour, right?, BUT… 0.5ml/hr x 60 drops/ml  60 minutes/hr = 0.5 drops/min EASY AS…
