What is a macro giving set?

To calculate the rate in drops per minute (dpm) we need to know the volume to be delivered in millilitres, the time in minutes, and the rate of the giving set. Giving sets usually deliver at 20 drops per mL (macrodrip) or 60 drops per mL (microdrip). Some sets may deliver at 15 drops per mL.

What is macro drop?

Macrodrip and microdrip refers to the diameter of the needle where the drop enters the drip chamber. Macrodrip tubing delivers 10 to 20 gtts/mL and is used to infuse large volumes or to infuse fluids quickly.

What is the difference between macro and micro drip set?

Macro drip tubing is much larger, so is better for delivering larger doses of fluid. Micro drip tubing typically delivers 60 gtt/mL which means it would deliver 1 milliliter in 60 drops. This makes it ideal when dealing with more precise drip rates. Macro drip tubing can deliver between 10 gtt/mL and 15 gtt/mL.

What is a micro drip set?
