Calculation of Fast and Slow Infusion Rates

Fast Infusion Rate Constant

Using the equation for Cp during an infusion, rearrange to solve for k0fast. This will the infusion rate needed to reach 35 mg/L in 30 minutes (0.5 hour).

Slow Infusion Rate Constant

Use the steady state concentration equation rearranged to solve for k0slow. This is the rate constant that should maintain a concentration of 35 mg/L.

Parameter Value Unit
k0fast 1342 mg/hr
k0fast 671 30 min
k0slow 106 mg/hr
