You first need to find out what drop factor you are working with (how large the drops are). They normally range from about 10-20 gtt per mL (macrodrop) or 60 gtt per mL (microdrop). Your question cannot be answered until you know how many drops it would take to add up to your full 17 mL IV administration.

How many gtts to run 500ml in 60 minutes?
To calculate the number of drops (gtts) needed to run 500 ml in 60 minutes, you first determine the flow rate in ml per minute, which is 500 ml / 60 minutes = 8.33 ml/min. If you know the drip factor of the IV set you are using (for example, 20 gtts/ml), you can calculate the number of drops per minute: 8.33 ml/min × 20 gtts/ml = 166.67 gtts/min. Therefore, to run 500 ml in 60 minutes, you would need approximately 167 gtts/min.

How long does intravenous re-hydration therapy take?
It depends on the flow of the fluid into the body and the gauge of the line which is carrying the fluid. It can take anywhere from 1 L/hr to 1 L/many hours. It depends on what is advised by the nurse or doctor. Generally, intravenous re-hydration is done repeatedly over time, versus just done once. Plus, having those fluids being continuously infused into the body allows the ability to inject medications as needed. This depends on the extent of the dehydration before the therapy started.
