How many gtt per ml?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the conversion of drops (gtt) to milliliters (ml), specifically how many drops are in one milliliter. This typically depends on the specific drop factor of the equipment being used, but a common conversion is that 20 drops are approximately equal to 1 milliliter.
Answer
60 gtt/mL in microdrip sets; 10, 15, or 20 gtt/mL in macrodrip sets.
In microdrip sets: 60 gtt/mL. In macrodrip sets: 10, 15, or 20 gtt/mL.
Answer for screen readers
