Both the KVO and the TKO rates refer to the rate of infusion of an IV solution. The KVO and TKO rates are approximately equal to a rate from eight to 15 drops per minute.
Sep 07 2021 Brazil Slower intravenous fluid infusion rates compared to faster rates did not reduce 90 day mortality in critically ill patients according to a recent study in the Journal of American Medical Association JAMA .. Previous studies have shown slower intravenous fluid infusion rates to minimize tissue edema and organ dysfunction in critically sick patients
Infusion pumps common medical devices are used to administer fluids such as nutrients or medications to patients. In comparison to manual administration of fluids infusion pumps provide the advantage of controlled administration the ability to deliver fluids in small volumes or at precisely programmed rates or intervals.
Many adult hospital inpatients need intravenous IV fluid therapy to prevent or correct problems with their fluid and/or electrolyte status. This may be because they cannot meet their normal needs through oral or enteral routes for example they have swallowing problems or gastrointestinal dysfunction or because they have unusual fluid and/or electrolyte deficits or
