Dopamine CRI Calculation
Dopamine CRI Calculation
To prepare a dopamine CRI for a 66 lb dog, add 1.86 mL of dopamine (40mg/mL) to a 1 liter bag of 0.9% NaCl to deliver 5 mcg/kg/min.
Study Notes
Patient Information
- The patient is a 66 pound Golden Retriever mix.
Dopamine Infusion Requirements
- The patient requires a constant rate infusion of dopamine at 5 micrograms per kilogram per minute (ug/kg/min).
- The patient's weight in kilograms is 66 pounds / 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 30 kilograms (approximately).
Fluid Rate Requirement
- The patient requires a fluid rate of 120mL per hour.
Dopamine Concentration
- Dopamine comes in a concentration of 40mg/mL.
Calculation of Dopamine to Add
- To determine how much dopamine to add to a liter of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, further calculations are required.
