We are given:
2 units of packed red blood cells infused over 1 hour each, so 1 unit per hour
1 unit is equivalent to 250 ml
10 gtt/mL
solve for the volume per unit time:
1 unit per hour / 1 unit /250 mL = 250 mL per hour
The flow rate in drops per minute is determined by:
- converting hours to minutes:
250 mL per hour * (1 hour / 60 minutes) =4.2 mL per minute
-multiplying gtt/ml to flow rate
4.2 mL/min * 10 gtt/mL = 42 gtt/minute
Therefore the final flow rate in drops per minute is 42 gtt per minute.<span />
