Work out syringe pump rate instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Converts a microgram per kilogram per minute prescription into a syringe pump rate in millilitres per hour.
Pump rate
mL/h = dose (mcg/kg/min) x weight (kg) x 60 / concentration (mcg/mL)
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
The dose is per minute and the pump is set per hour, so the per-minute delivery is scaled to an hour.
Multiply the mg/mL figure by 1000 to get mcg/mL before using it here.
