Dec 14 2011 DRD is based on the drop factor. You find the DRD by dividing 60 by the drop factor. So if your tubing has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL you do 60 / 15 = DRD 4. Here s a helpful chart 60 drops per ml = DRD 1. 30 drops per ml = DRD 2. 20 drops per ml = DRD 3. 15 drops per ml = DRD 4. 12 drops per ml = DRD 5.

This may be IV NGT or oral and usually refers to fluids.Normally you chart this hourly so say an IV infusion is set at 125 1000 ml over 8 hours so for each hour you record 125.. What the patient pees out is also recorded. So you either have a catheter with a urometer bag or the patient pees into a bottle or bedpan.This is measured and
This is the manual way of administering IV fluids. And this is not done much anymore. Now these days most IV is administered via IV pump to make sure the IV infusing is more accurate. When set up on a pump instead of calculating drops per minute we calculate millilieters per hour mL/hr . The machine can infuse with less complication.

Route and Rate of Fluid Administration. Standard large eg 14 to 16 gauge peripheral IV catheters are adequate for most fluid resuscitation. With an infusion pump they typically allow infusion of 1 L of crystalloid in 10 to 15 minutes and 1 unit of red blood cells in 20 minutes.
Fluid Needs of Tube Fed Patients Free Water. Most enteral formulas contain 80 85 free water and fluid needs can be met with a small amount of additional water.However calorically dense formulas contain as little as 60 free water so the failure to supplement water with the denser formulas can result in dehydration.

Blood Pressure and Heart Effects. As overinfusion of IV fluids increases the amount of fluid in the bloodstream the blood pressure usually increases. This is an early sign of hypervolemia according to Brenner and Rector s the Kidney E book 5. The heart is also affected as it must work harder to pump the extra blood around the body.
