Respected Sir.. I use a simple trick to calculate dopamine infusion Considering its strength as 40mg/ml as it is widely available.. (Cardiac dose ie @10ug/kg/min) : Weight X 0.36=ml of dopamine for 24 hrs infusion.. Take these mls in 50 or 100ml NS and divide it by 24 to give the rate in ml/hr.. Weight x0.36 ÷2=Renal dose Weight x0.36x2=Pressor dose
Thank you, but it can’t be same in both 50 and 100 ml volumes, and you do need flexibility in titrating dose as well. What I suggested is straightforward when you are used to. But any reliable system can be used
Thank you sir for your class on Dopamine infusion. What is your advice regarding using the formula 3 x body weight x dosage (mic/kg/min) divided by rate of infusion (in ml /hour) . This gives the amount of drug to be added to 50 ml syringe.
Dear sir. When we prepare an antibiotic infusion, is there any way to compensate for the drug lost in the infusion line (usually PMO line is used in our unit for the same, which can contain around 1.4 ml). What should be the ideal practice. Thanks

Yes, I know there are similar formulae and it’s ok to use any that works for your team. The main thing is to understand how it is derived

The pharmacy usually accounts for this when they prepare but the post infusion flush should work to get the full dose into the baby, right?
