A 80 kg patient is brought in causality. Patient is in shock. Vaso-pressure is to be staed micro/kg/min. Vial has 200 mg in 5 ml, 2 ls diluted in 250 ml NS. 16 drops is equal to 1 ml. Calculate drops per minute required

250 ml of NS contains 200 mg x 2 = 400 mg vaso-pressure1 ml NS contains = 1.6 mg vaso-pressureVaso-pressure staed 10 micro/kg/min or 80 x 10 micro g/min = 800 micro g/min or 0.8 mg /minVaso-pressure staed 0.8 mg/ min 0r 0.5 ml/ min (1 ml NS contains = 1.6 mg vaso-pressure) or 8 drops/ min (1 ml = 16 drops)
