Alja [10]

Here, the rate of infusion is 40mLs/hr.

<h3>What is Infusion?</h3>

An infusion may be defined as a process of being extracted some compounds from original products.

To find the dose required = 0.5 (mg) x patient weight (kg)

                                           = 0.5mg x 80 = 40mg

Available Aminophylline is 500mg in 500 mLs = 1mg in a mL

To find the actual rate of infusion = \frac{40 * 500 mL }{500}

                                                         = \frac{40 mg * 1ml}{1 mg}  = 40mLs/hour.      

Therefore, the rate of infusion is 40mLs/hr.
