Dose calculation: the amount to give equals what is prescribed divided by what you have, times the quantity it comes in: amount = (desired dose/stock strength) × stock volume. Always keep the units the same (convert g to mg, mg to mcg first) and check that the answer is sensible.
ความเข้มข้นหลังผสม
1000 mg/10 mL = 100 mg/mL
ปริมาตร
V = 100/100 = 1 mL
คำตอบ
V = 1 mL
4.การคำนวณขนาดยา
คำตอบ: D = 99.02 mg
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).
พื้นที่ผิวร่างกาย
BSA = √(185·53/3600) = √2.724 = 1.65 m²
ขนาดยา
D = 60·1.65 = 99.02 mg
คำตอบ
D = 99.02 mg
5.อัตราการให้สารน้ำทางหลอดเลือดดำ
คำตอบ: R = 25 gtt/min
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.
