Frequently asked questions

Formula?

mL/h = (dose mcg/kg/min × weight kg × 60) / concentration mcg/mL.

When used?

For vasoactive drug infusions (norepinephrine, dopamine, dobutamine, epinephrine, etc.) where dose is titrated in mcg/kg/min.

How to derive concentration?

Concentration (mcg/mL) = total drug mass (mcg) / total volume (mL). Example: 4 mg in 250 mL → 4000/250 = 16 mcg/mL.

Always double-check?

Yes — independent two-person verification is standard before starting vasoactive infusions.
