Insulin Drip Calculation Made Easy | DKA & Hyperglycemia | Step-by-Step IV Pump Math

Learn how to calculate an Insulin IV drip quickly and accurately in this step-by-step tutorial designed for nursing students, pharmacy students, medical students, NCLEX preparation, and healthcare professionals.

In this video, we'll solve a common insulin infusion calculation used in the management of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hyperglycemia.

✅ Order: Regular Insulin 0.1 unit/kg/hr
✅ Patient Weight: 75 kg
✅ Available: 100 units in 100 mL
✅ Find: mL/hr

You'll learn how to:

✔ Calculate units per hour from a weight-based insulin order
✔ Convert an insulin dose into a pump rate (mL/hr)
✔ Apply the Dose-Have formula correctly
✔ Verify your answer using a proportion check
✔ Understand why many hospitals use a concentration of 100 units in 100 mL

This lesson is ideal for anyone learning medication dosage calculations, IV pump programming, insulin infusion protocols, or preparing for nursing and pharmacy exams.

📚 Topics Covered:

* Insulin Drip Calculations
* DKA Insulin Infusion
* Hyperglycemia Management
* Units/kg/hr Calculations
