Work out infusion concentration instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Divides the drug added by the bag volume to give the infusion concentration in the units used on pump programming screens.
Infusion concentration
mg/mL = drug mass (mg) / bag volume (mL); mcg/mL = mg/mL x 1000
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
For accuracy yes, especially with small bags; many protocols specify removing an equal volume before adding the drug.
Standard concentrations reduce programming errors, which is why smart pumps hold a fixed drug library.
