If the patient weight is 250 lb and the doses are 0.8mg/kg/hour for 12 hours, then the total amount of theophylline needed would be:
250lb * 0.453592kg/lb* 0.8mg/kg/hr * 12hr= <span>1088.6208mg
If the solution contains 800mg of </span>theophylline for 100ml volume, then the volume needed would be: 1088.62 mg / (800mg/100ml)= 136.07ml
The hormones released from adrenal cortex are lipid soluble. These hormones are aldosterone (improves sodium absorption and potassium secretion in kidney), and cortisol (stimulates the breakdown of fats, improves gluconeogenesis in the liver).
