Vasoactive Infusion Calculator
Convert infusion rate and concentration into mcg/kg/min for vasoactive medications. Built for calculation checking in critical care.

Educational use only. Always verify concentration, pump units, and follow local ICU protocols.
About Vasoactive Infusion Dosing
Vasoactive infusions are often prescribed as a weight-based dose (e.g., mcg/kg/min). This calculator converts from an infusion pump rate (mL/hr) and a prepared concentration (mcg/mL) into the weight-based dose.
Formula
mcg/hr = (mL/hr) × (mcg/mL)
mcg/min = mcg/hr ÷ 60
mcg/kg/min = (mcg/min) ÷ weight(kg)
Safety Note
Always verify the prepared concentration and pump units. Follow local ICU policies for vasoactive titration and monitoring.
