Calculate the volume and dose for IM morphine to administer to a 7 Y/O female

byr0n_urbina — 2023-05-10 23:05:12 UTC

Presentation of morphine = 10 mg in 1 mL

Paed dose for IM morphine = 0.1 mg/kg

Weight = (7 x 3) + 7 = 28 kg

Total dose: 0.1 mg/kg x 28 kg patient = 2.8 mg morphine (our strength required)

Volume required = SR/SS X volume/1

Volume required = 2.8 mg/10 X 1ml/1

= 0.28 mg X 1 mL

= 0.28 ml morphine (our volume)

Therefore we will administer 2.8 mg IM morphine to this patient, which is the equivalent of 0.28 ml

Calculate the amount of compound sodium lactate for a 13 y/o female who is septic with a BP of 60/40

Calculate the volume and dose of IM midazolam for a 5 year old patient

2023-05-11 00:23:42 UTC

Answer:
5mg in 1mL
2x5+8 = 18kg

0.15mg/kg
0.15 x 18 = 2.7mg IM
2.7/5 = 0.54mL

A 11 y/o pt is indicated for Midazolam while actively seizing. What is the IM dose required and the mls administered?

2023-05-11 00:26:16 UTC

What is the dose of IV Benzyl Penicillin for a 6yr old child?

2023-05-11 00:26:23 UTC

Septic = medical hypovolaemia

Weight of 13 y/o = (13 x 3) + 7 = 46 kg

Dosage = 20ml per kg

Therefore dose = 20 x 46 = 920 mL

What is the drug dosage and preperation for benzyl penicillin for a 5 month old?

2023-05-11 00:26:38 UTC

300mg IV/IO/IM
IM - 600mg in 2mL NaCl
IV/IO - 600mg in 10mL NaCl

2023-05-11 00:27:04 UTC

Answer:
0.15mg / kg - max 5mg
Child age - 40kg

40*0.15 =6

Dose required = 5mg, volume required = 1ml

2023-05-11 00:27:25 UTC

Benzyl Penicillin IV Dose for a 6yr old= 600mg

calculate the volume and dosage for IM adrenaline to administer to a 9 Y/O female - anaphylaxis

2023-05-11 00:28:29 UTC

answer:

weight - (9x3)+7= 34kg

10mcg/kg - 10x34 = 340mcg/1000
= 0.34mLs

How much Atropine is given to a 3yoM experiencing Organophosphate poisoning

2023-05-11 00:30:04 UTC

20mcg/kg max bolus of 600mcg

14kg X 20mcg = 280mcg

Calculate the dose of IM midazolam required to sedate a 10 year old child.

calculate the amount of fluids you can administer to a dehydrated 10 year old

2023-05-11 00:32:23 UTC

dehydration IV: 10mL/kg
10yrd old: (3 x 10) + 7= 37kg

10mL x 37kg= 370mL of fluid bolus

What is the dose and volume required for ipratropium bromide for a 5 y/o pt

Answer :250mcg, 1ml prep, max 0.5 mg

What is the dose and volume of Glucose 10% given IV for hypoglycaemia in an 8 y/o pt?

2023-05-11 00:36:13 UTC

Weight of 8 y/o = (3 x 8) + 7 = 31 kg

glucose 10% IV dose = 0.2g/kg (max 15g)

dose = 31 x 0.2 = 6.2g

drug presentation = 50g in 500ml =5g in 50ml = 1g in 10 ml

therefore volume = 10 x 6.2g = 62ml of glucose

Calculate the dose and volume of IM naloxone required for an 8 year old

2023-05-11 00:37:58 UTC

Naloxone presentation = 400mcg in 1mL
Diluted to 4mL with 3mL NaCl =
100mcg in 1mL

Dose for IM naloxone = 5mcg/kg
Weight = 8x3 + 7 = 31kg

Total dose = 5mcg x 31kg = 155mcg naloxone for strength required

Volume required =
SR/SS x volume/1
155/100 x 1/1
1.55 x 1 =
= 1.55mL naloxone for volume

Max volts is 100mcg so deliver 1mL

isabelmccarthy21 — 2023-05-11 00:41:04 UTC

Weight = 10-3+7 = 37kg
Dose required = 0.15mg/kg = 0.15x37 = 5.55mg.
Preparation is 5mg in 1mL
The volume required = 1.11mL

What is the volume of naloxone for a 5 year old having an opioid overdose?

2023-05-11 00:41:15 UTC

Dose for <16y is 5mcg/kg

18kg x 5mcg = 90mcg

Preparation = 400mcg (1mL)

90/400mcg
= 0.225mL given

Calculate the volume and dose for IV morphine for a 13yo male

2023-05-11 00:43:28 UTC

Presentation = 10mg/1mL
Dilution = 10mg/1mL diluted with 9mL NaCl
= 10,000mcg/10mL
Paediatric dose = 100mcg/kg (Max 5mg bolus)

Weight: (3 x 13) + 7 = 46kg

Total dose: 100mcg/kg x 46kg patient = 4,600mcg = 4.6mg morphine

What is the dose and volume of IM Naloxone in an opioid overdose for a 5 y/o female?

2023-05-11 00:45:17 UTC

Weight of 5 y/o = (2 x 5) + 8 = 18kg

drug dose = 5mcg/kg (Max 100mcg)

Her dose = 5 x 18 = 90mcg

drug presentation = 400mcg in 1ml
diluted = 100mcg:1mL
