Mary,
I think that it would depend on the Pump. Pressure rates more than the pump
itself would give you a better example. A CADD pump would have the pressure to
run a drip at that rate but not sure a regular pump would suffice. Not an
engineer though. Maybe we have an engineer on here that could help.
Just my thoughts.

Hi Lynn,
I followed a nurse whose patient had Levophed running.The drip rate was at .1cc per hour on an IV pump going into the distal lumen of a TLC, femoral access.
Does anyone know what the standards for minimal IV drip rates peripherally and centrally?
Thank you
Mary Ann Daly RN
