Hi there

I remember doing this calculation in nursing lab related to Heparin Infusions, working out how much heparin is needed as well as how much normal saline is needed to put into 50ml syringe to assist with infusion. I no longer can find this and was hoping someone can assist me with these working out.

Thanks ;)

CrazyCat, perhaps you could post the dosage you need, and the ampoule strength and then someone will be able to help with the formula.
