IV Therapy
IV drop factor differs: macro sets 15–20 gtt/mL, micro sets 60 gtt/mL. Using the wrong one badly over- or under-infuses.
Paediatrics
Confirm weight units before paediatric dosing — lb vs kg (1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb). A unit slip can double or halve the dose.
Renal
Urine output below 0.5 mL/kg/hr is oliguria — a red flag to report, not a normal variation.
Cardiovascular
MAP ≥ 65 mmHg is needed for organ perfusion; a normal SBP with a low DBP can still give a dangerously low MAP.
