2.4 DOSAGE CALCULATIONS

, Dose calculation based on body weight and
body surface area
a) Based on weight (expressed as mg/kg body weight):


b) Based on body surface area:

, Pediatric dose calculation based on
age
• New born and infants
have low gfr and
immature tubular
transport.
• Hepatic enzymes
inadequately
developed.
• Hence need for dose
reduction.

, DRIP (DROP) Factor of IV Tubings
The size of a drop in an IV setup depends upon the width of
the IV tubing: thinner tubing produces smaller drops and
wider tubing produces larger ones.
There are two major categories of IV tubing:
• Macrodrip tubing is wider and so produces larger drops.
It is the tubing most commonly used for routine IV
administration, such as infusion of IV fluids that do not
contain sensitive medication. Macrodrip tubing comes in
3 sizes: 10 drops/mL, 15 drops /mL and 20 drops /mL.
