A very common concentration is 1 unit of insulin per 1 mL of normal saline (e.g., 50 Units in 50 mL).

Insulin Infusion Calculator

Determine appropriate insulin infusion rates for patients with hyperglycemia, especially in critical care settings.

In critical care, continuous insulin infusions are often used to treat Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hyperglycemia. This calculator helps determine the correct pump rate in mL/hr based on a weight-based protocol (Units/kg/hr).

Nasıl Çalışır

The calculator determines the concentration of insulin in the carrier fluid and divides the hourly unit requirement (Dose × Weight) by that concentration to find the mL/hr pump setting.

Hesaplama Formülü

Rate = (U/kg/hr × kg) / concentration

Hesaplama Örnekleri

1. **Standard**: 70kg at 0.1 U/kg/hr (1 U/mL) = **7 mL/hr**.
