How do I convert noradrenaline dose to infusion rate?

Rate (mL/hr) = Dose (mcg/kg/min) × Weight (kg) × 60 / Concentration (mcg/mL). For a 70 kg patient on 0.1 mcg/kg/min with 4 mg in 50 mL (80 mcg/mL): rate = 0.1 × 70 × 60 / 80 = 5.25 mL/hr.

What is the maximum noradrenaline dose?

Doses above 0.25 mcg/kg/min are generally considered high-dose noradrenaline; doses above 1 mcg/kg/min indicate severe refractory shock, and vasopressin should be added to spare noradrenaline requirements.

Noradrenaline Dose Converter — mcg/kg/min to mL/hr

Convert noradrenaline (norepinephrine) infusion dose from mcg/kg/min to mL/hr based on patient weight, concentration, and syringe volume to ensure accurate vasopressor delivery in ICU patients.
