This is the first time I've seen someone explain this using cross multiplication and also thank god, because that's my secret math weapon. I spent all week struggling with this and one eight minute video gave me that eureka moment. Thank you!

Hahaha whenever possible, I always try to use proportions for that exact reason, they just make it so easy!! Multiply, divide, and done lol. I'm glad I could help :)

Just wanted to say- you have helped me tremendously with CRIs!!!! I’m taking the VTNE in a few weeks and I feel so much more prepared since watching your videos.

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! I am very glad I was able to help you :)

Thank you for this!

i know this sounds silly, but on the cross-multiplication part, an you explain why lrs is on the top and mg is on the bottom, why x is on bottom/vs top? Is it always bigger number over the smaller number, or is there some other reasoning to this?

Hello! Not silly at all :). So you can really make the X be on top or bottom, which ever one you want. But the key is to keep that consistent throughout your problem. For instance at 2:43, I wrote that I had 720mL/24mg and I am trying to find how many mg I need for 1,000mL, so since I have mL/mg the opposite side of that equation has to stay that way and therefore X is on bottom. However if I wrote it as 24mg/720mL = xmg/1000mL, the X would then be on top and the answer remains the same :) Since we are dealing with ratios/proportions, as long as the units are kept consistent (top v bottom), the math should all check out in the end.

I really like how you did this! Thank you!

33.3mg(reglan)/1000ml of lrs regardless of any weight ☺️

I would actually skip the portion about how much fluid required per day and use this formula: Drug dose rate (mg/kg/hr) x weight ( (kg) x Fluid bag volume ( mls) ÷ Fluid rate in (ml/hr)÷ Drug concentration ( mg/ml) = drug volume required to be put in bag .... Fignocaine ( 0.03 x 60) x 24 x 750 ÷ 60 ÷ 20 = 27 cc of lignocaine ( 20mg/ml = 540mg )

Hey, that is awesome! Just shows that there's a lot of ways it can be done :) I think explaining the rationale is best here when trying to show others, as all of the different things to keep track of can be hard for a lot of people, myself included lol. This method may be best for you, and your answers are probably always correct! I personally choose to do it this way, because it's how I understand best and I can keep track of everything, which can be hard sometimes :)

Thanks, great video. One question. When you add the medications to the bag do you need to remove the amount you're adding from the fluids?

@vet-techbites22

Since adding meds to the IVF bag tends to be a small quantity, it's not necessary to remove that volume before we add. The reason we remove volume when adding dextrose is because the calculations are based upon percentages and large volumes are being added.

How do you know which one to place at the top or bottom? like the drugs in 24 hours or fluids in 24 hours

Hello! I am assuming you mean while doing a proportion to determine the amount of drug to add to the IVF bag? So it is sort if up to you on how to structure your math problems, but the important thing is to keep it consistent once you start. But since things are usually "per 24hr", it is easier for me to use this way. I hope this answered your question, but please let me know if not, and I can help with a little clarification! Thanks for watching!

This is what I was wondering too. how do you know mL/mg or inverse... then again I am horrible with math and have dyslexia @@vet-techbites22

I appreciate you making the video but the lack of organization with labeling and making things neater makes this confusing .
