IV Drip Rate Calculator (gtt/min)
Drops per minute from volume, time and drop factor — gravity-set infusion arithmetic.
With a 60 gtt/mL micro set, gtt/min numerically equals mL/h — the bedside shortcut every nursing student learns. Count drops against a watch for 15 seconds ×4 to set the roller clamp. Gravity drips drift with arm position and bag height; anything rate-critical (potassium, vasoactives, paediatrics) belongs on a pump.
