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.
What is a "gtt"
1
volume (ml) x drop factor (gtts/ml)Time (total minutes) gtts/ minute (flow rate)1500 ml iv saline over 12 hours, gtt factor15 gtts/ml , how many gtts/ minute need Tobe delivered?1500 ml x 15 (gtts/ ml) 12x60 720=31.25 or 31 gtts/ minute
There are 5 gm in 5 ml.
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.
depends on the drop size, many are 60, some are less.
15 gtts (drops) = 1ml 1.5ml --> 15 gtts + (15/2=7.5) = 22.5 drops
120 drops. 20 drops / mL.
The number of drops (gtts) in 0.25 ml can vary depending on the size of the drop, which is influenced by the liquid's viscosity and the dropper used. However, a common estimate is that there are approximately 20 drops in 1 ml for water-like liquids. Therefore, in 0.25 ml, there would be roughly 5 drops.
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.

Chelation therapy is a treatment that uses an intravenous solution containing the drug ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), among other substances. It should be noted that chelation therapy has not been shown to be an effective method of treatment for gangrene or many of its other proposed uses. It's useful for heavy metal poisoning.
