How do you compute for the drop factor?

this is for IVF

Answer:
(total volume of fluid * drop factor) / (total number of hours * 60 min/hr)

drop factors: Abbot- 15 gtt/ml
Intrafix - 20 gtt/ml)
You simply type in gtt factor into the search engine.
simply divide the number of cc or ml by the number of hrs ordered and multiply it by the gtt factor (adults 15)
