Problem 7: Practice Drug Titrations

Two hours later, you need to notify the physician of the Ms. Pibb's condition.   The Amrinone is now infusing at 17 ml/hr. What dose will you tell the physician she is receiving?

Amrinone 250 mg/50 ml NS              Weight = 60 kg

   250000 mcg  X  17 ml  X    1 hr     X     1     =  42500000 mcg  =   23.6  mcg/kg/min
      50 ml              1 hr          60 min       60 kg        180000
