Question

A physician ordered 5.0 mg of methylprednisolone. Calculate the ccs required if methylprednisolone is available as 10 mg/2 cc.

Answer 1

The ccs required if methylprednisolone is available as 10 mg/2 cc is 11642.4 mcg

• Here for 100 units of heparin 1 ml is required. Now for forty units of heparin (1/100)*40ml = 0.4ml of heparin is required.

• For 10mg of methylprednisolone, 2mL is required. So for 5.0mg of methylprednisolone, (2/10)×5.0 mL = 1 mL is required.
• For 125mg(0.125g) vancomycin, 1mL is required.So for 0.25g vancomycin, (1/0.125)×0.25mL = 2mL is required.
• For 1kilogram per minute, the doctor ordered 2mcg of propofol.
• For 10kilogram per minute, the doctor ordered 20mcg of propofol.
• Now, for 44lb(= 44×2.205kg) per minute the doctor has to order 44×2.205×2 mcg = 194.04mcg of propofol .
• So now per hour, the 44lb patient requires 194.04×60mcg = 11642.4 mcg of propofol.
