How to Calculate IV Infusion Rates?

Nurses often need to calculate IV infusion rates manually, especially when using gravity infusion sets. The basic formula for calculating the infusion rate is:
\[ \text{Infusion Rate (mL/hr)} = \frac{\text{Total Volume (mL)}}{\text{Time (hrs)}} \]
For example, if a patient needs 1000 mL of fluid over 8 hours, the infusion rate would be:
\[ \text{Infusion Rate (mL/hr)} = \frac{1000}{8} = 125 \, \text{mL/hr} \]
