The Answer is 359-897 mcg/min; 13-34 mL/hr
4 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 358.8 = 359 mcg/min
10 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 471.6 = 897 mcg/min
The dosage range is 359-897 mcg/min.
359 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 21,540 mcg/hr
21,540 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 21.54 = 21.5 mg/hr
897 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 53,280 mcg/hr
53,280 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 53.82 = 53.8 mg/hr 359-897 mcg/min; 13-34 mL/hr 4 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 358.8 = 359 mcg/min 10 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 471.6 = 897 mcg/min The dosage range is 359-897 mcg/min. 359 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 21,540 mcg/hr 21,540 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 21.54 = 21.5 mg/hr 897 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 53,280 mcg/hr 53,280 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 53.82 = 53.8 mg/hr The flow rate range is 13-34 mL/hr.

359-897 mcg/min; 13-34 mL/hr 4 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 358.8 = 359 mcg/min 10 mcg/kg/min × 89.7 kg = 471.6 = 897 mcg/min The dosage range is 359-897 mcg/min. 359 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 21,540 mcg/hr 21,540 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 21.54 = 21.5 mg/hr 897 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 53,280 mcg/hr 53,280 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 53.82 = 53.8 mg/hr The flow rate range is 13-34 mL/hr.

The flow rate range is 13-34 mL/hr.
