re: Calling LSUNURSE, other nurses, or mathematicians

First off, as the question is worded, I agree with everyone else that it's 2100cc/hr. And like everyone else, that's a ton of hypotonic fluid.

However, Epi is not dosed in that way. In drip form, it starts at 1mcg/min and can go to 10mcg/min. Even at 1mcg/min with 2mcg/ml concentration, it would come out to 30cc/hr. I don't know how she can up with 0.43ml/hr. And that part doesn't make sense either. I don't know of any pump, save for babies, that will run something less than 5cc/hr.

And, I rarely see epi in 500cc bags, it's usually in 250cc, at a 4mcg/ml dose, unless they are double concentrating.
