IV Drip Rate Calculator
This calculator helps determine the correct drip rate for intravenous (IV) fluid administration. It's crucial for healthcare professionals to accurately calculate infusion rates to ensure patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness. The calculation typically involves the volume of fluid to be infused, the desired infusion time, and the drip set's calibration (drops per milliliter).
Calculate Rate
function calculateDripRate() {
var volume = parseFloat(document.getElementById("volume").value);
var time = parseFloat(document.getElementById("time").value);
var dripFactor = parseFloat(document.getElementById("dripFactor").value);
var dripRateResultElement = document.getElementById("dripRateResult");
if (isNaN(volume) || isNaN(time) || isNaN(dripFactor) || volume <= 0 || time <= 0 || dripFactor <= 0) {
dripRateResultElement.textContent = "Please enter valid positive numbers for all fields.";
return;
}
var dripRate = (volume * dripFactor) / time;
dripRateResultElement.textContent = dripRate.toFixed(2) + " gtts/min";
