time period.
Volume: The liquid volume of the solution including the drug.
Dose/min or Dose/hr: The drug quantity injected into a patient within a unit

Dose/(kg*min) or Dose/(kg*hr): The amount of drug per 1kg of a patient’s
weight injected in the patient within the unit time period (per minute or hour)
Dose/(kg*min)*Patient Weight＝Dose/min
Dose/(kg*hr)*Patient Weight＝Dose/hr

within a unit of time (per minute, hour). The unit is ml/min or ml/hr.
Infusion Rate/kg: The volume of the drug solution per 1kg of a patient’s weight
injected into the patient within unit time (per minute, hour), the unit is ml/min
or ml/hr.
Infusion Rate/kg*Patient Weight＝Infusion Rate
Time: The consumed time for drug infusion (the unit is min, hr).
Concentration: The concentration of the drug in the solution.
Concentration＝Total Drug/Liquid Volume of Solution
