Preparation Steps
1
Calculate drug needed
Calculate total drug requirement based on rate and duration
2
Remove fluid from bag
Remove volume equal to drug volume to be added
3
Add drug to bag
Add calculated drug volume to the bag
4
Set pump rate
Program pump with calculated rate
Core Calculations
Drug Needed = Rate × Weight × Duration
Drug Volume = Drug Needed ÷ Stock Concentration
Pump Rate = Bag Volume ÷ Duration
✓ Back-Calculation Verification
Back-calculation ensures your preparation matches the ordered rate. This step verifies math accuracy before administration.
💡 Preparation Tips
  • Label bag with drug name, concentration, date, and initials
  • Use aseptic technique throughout preparation
  • Verify line compatibility with concurrent CRIs
  • Consider total fluid load in cardiac/renal patients
