Variables Description Equation
Amount The weight of the drug Concentration x volume
Volume The volume in which the drug is
dissolved
Drug amount / concentration
Concentration Drug quantity / solution volume Drug amount / volume
Rate Infused volume per unit of time Dose / concentration
Duration The time over which the infusion
is administered
User-selectable
Dose The amount of a drug the physi-
cian prescribes, standardized by
weight and time
Rate x concentration
or
Rate x concentration / weight
Total dose Total dose over duration Dose x duration
Total volume Total volume over duration Rate x duration
