Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at sufficient
height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body. See the
schematic bellow. The higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid will be.
a) If it is observed that the fluid and the blood pressures balance each other when the bottle
is 1.2 meters above the arm level, the gage pressure of the blood will
be.. .kPag.
b) If the gage pressure of the fluid at the arm level needs to be 20 kPag for sufficient flow
rate, the bottle must be placed at the height of.....
.meters.
Please note: The density of the fluid is 1020 kg/cubic meters.
Acceleration of gravity is 9.81 meters/squared second.
