Work out iv push rate instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Divides the syringe volume by the minimum recommended push time and breaks it into 15-second increments, which is how a slow push is actually paced.
Push rate
mL per minute = volume / minimum push time; volume per 15 seconds = rate / 4
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
Rapid administration of drugs such as vancomycin, furosemide or potassium causes reactions, ototoxicity or arrhythmia.
Dilute to a measurable volume so the push can be paced accurately, following the product literature.
