  3. Calculating IV Titration in ml/hr • Example 1 To lower BP, nitroprusside in dextrose 5% in water is to be titrated 15-200 mcg per minute. The IV solution was prepared by adding 50 mg of nitroprusside to dextrose 5% in water. The final solution contains a total volume of 250 ml. You should infuse the IV solution at a rate of ___ to ___ ml per hour. • To find the ml/hour: • Step 1 – Write down dosage rate • Step 2 – Write down IV concentration • Step 3 – Convert if needed • Step 4 – Reduce the units • Step 5 –Perform the math
