What rate in ml do you administer pitocin if you have a concentration of 100 units in 1000ml of fluid and you want to infuse 50 milliunits per minute?

Answer 1

I am not offering this as a medical answer, but I believe the math is as follows. 100 units = 100,000 milliunits. Diluted 10:1 this makes 1,000,000 milliunits of solution. Since you want 50 milliunits of pitocin per minute, this would be 500 milliunits of solution per minute, or 0.5ml (1/2 ml)per minute.
