Examples
1) Prepare a 1% solution of Brevital (500 mg of powder in bottle). How many mL of sterile water will you use?
Answer: First convert 1% solution to mg/cc. A 1% solution is the same as 1000 milligrams in 100 cc or 10mg/cc.
Percent solutions all are 1000mg/100cc. For example a 2% = 20mg/cc, 5% = 50mg/cc, 5.5% = 55mg/cc, etc...
Now you have all the information needed to use the IV dosage calculator. This problem is the same as the doctor ordering a 500 mg IV bag of Brevital: 500 mg = dose ordered, 10mg = dose available, and 1cc = mL available (the last two values come from 10mg/cc obtained above). The answer is 50cc.
2) 1.4cc of ½% tetracaine (Pontocaine) was given in a subarachoid block. How many mg were given?
Answer: First convert ½% to mg/cc. A 0.5% solution is the same as 500mg/100cc (5mg/cc).
Now you have all the information needed to use the mL/hr to dose/hr calculator. 1.4 cc = mL given, 5mg = dose available, and 1cc = mL available. So 7mg of tetracaine were given.
