Feb 11 2022 Patients can receive a second infusion using an IV piggyback line hung alongside the first. Usually a secondary IV interrupts the administration of the primary IV medication. The primary IV resumes after the secondary IV has finished. Since the two lines do not mix we only need to calculate the flow and dosage rates for the secondary line.
Carefully watch and count the drops in the drip chamber over a 15 second period to help correlate the approximate corresponding flow rate. For example 2 drops per 15 seconds is equal to approximately 25 to 30 mL/hour. Opening or closing the roller clamp will increase or decrease the drops and the corresponding rate per hour.
IV DRIP RATES.

Some patients may have a flow control device in their IV tubing that allows the fluid or medication to run in at a prescribed rate. This allows you to dial in the speed at which the infusion will drip. You will line up the blue line with the rate at which the infusion should flow. This picture show the device turned to the off position.
Oct 01 2015 In the absence of the stop time the provider should be able to calculate the infusion stop time with the volume start time and infusion rate.
