Body-surface-area dosing: many cytotoxic and some paediatric doses are prescribed per square metre of body surface area: dose (mg) = dose per m² × BSA (m²). The Mosteller formula estimates BSA = √(height (cm) × weight (kg)/3600).
投与量
D = 175·0.67 = 117.3 mg
答え
D = 117.3 mg
4.投与量の計算
答え: D = 251.5 mg

体表面積
BSA = √(169·44/3600) = √2.066 = 1.437 m²
投与量
D = 175·1.437 = 251.5 mg
答え
D = 251.5 mg
5.点滴速度
答え: V = 180 mL
Infusion rates: a pump is set in mL/h = volume/time in hours. A gravity drip is counted in drops per minute: gtt/min = volume (mL) × drop factor (gtt/mL)/time (min). The drop factor is printed on the tubing package: macrodrip sets deliver 10, 15 or 20 gtt/mL (blood sets often 10 gtt/mL in the US, 15 in the UK) and microdrip sets 60 gtt/mL. Always use the drop factor the question or package gives.
流量(mL/h)
60·60/60 = 60 mL/h
体積
V = 60·3 = 180 mL
答え
V = 180 mL
6.点滴速度
答え: R = 75 gtt/min
Dose-based infusions: concentration = amount of drug in the bag/bag volume. Pump rate (mL/h) = dose per hour/concentration, and dose per hour = mL/h × concentration. Convert per-minute doses to per-hour (× 60) and keep the mass units the same (1 g = 1000 mg, 1 mg = 1000 mcg).
