This is a conversion table that converts the equivalent LV.Infusion rate in mg/hr to its corresponding rate of mg/mL. It indicates the rate of administration for different dosages of a medication based on the concentration of the medication in the intravenous fluid. The table shows that a 5mg/hr dose would be equivalent to a 50mL/hr infusion rate when the medication concentration is 0.1mg/mL or 25mL/hr when it is 0.2mg/mL. Similarly, a 2.5mg/hr dose would require a 25mL/hr infusion rate if the medication concentration is 0.1mg/mL or 12.5mL/hr if it is 0.2mg/mL. Lastly, a 15mg/hr dose would require a 150mL/hr infusion rate when the concentration is 0.1mg/mL or 75mL/hr if it is 0.2mg/mL.*
