A 55-pound Pit Bull mix "Rocky" was hit by a car and is hospitalized in the emergency ward.

The ECG is showing continuous runs of ventricular tachycardia. The veterinarian asks you to

start a constant rate infusion of lidocaine to be given at 80 micrograms per kilogram per minute

(ug/kg/min). The dog is currently on a fluid rate of 80 mL per hour. Lidocaine is a 2% solution.

How much lidocaine will you add to a liter of LRS? 75mL


1) Convert pounds to kilograms-55 pounds/2.2 pounds per kg = 25 kg2)

Calculate the number of hours an infusion will last by dividing the volume in the bag (1 liter, or

1,000 ml) by the rate per hour: 1,000 ml/80ml/hr = 12.5 hours3)

Now take the number of hours (12.5) and multiply by 60 to calculate how many minutes this is:

12.5 X 60 = 750 minutes4) Plug into the equation: 80 ug/25kg/750min= 1,500,000 ug5)

Now convert the ug into mg by dividing by 1,000: 1,500,000/1,000 = 1500 mg6)

Calculate the quantity of lidocaine to add by dividing the 1500 mg by the concentration of the

drug (20mg/ml): 1500mg/20mg/ml = 75 ml




What constitutes anemia? A low packed cell volume
