Calculators to calculate the rate of drugs given in micorgrams per kg per minute from rates of drug infusion in ml/hr:

Vasopressin 20 Units in 50ml

Each ml of the infusion has 0.4 units of vasopressin so see the maximum number of ml/hour and multiply this by 0.4 to get units per hour (eg 10ml/hour: 10*0.4= 4 units per hour) then divide by 60 for units per minute (see calculator above)
