No not all. I would have asked the same of my students at SFS back in the day. I will be more complete with my responses in the future
For this one, if I recall correctly, a standard drip rate would be 60 gtt/min? This would deliver ~250 ml/h assuming a standard drip chamber and IV tubing. I was assuming a 1 L bag of NS to which I added 5 mg Epinephrine (1.25 mg/h). I would turn up the drip rate to 120 gtt/min to deliver 2.5 mg Epi/h.
You or the Docs may need to correct me on this, working from memory here.
Thanks for the challenge. Please post another one when you can. This is fun!
