Question

| Glucose solution is administered to a patient in a hospital. The density of the solution is 1.345 kg/1. If the blood pressure in the vein is 34.2 mmHg, then what is the minimum necessary height of the IV bag above the position of the needle? ???2nit Answer Tries 0/12 NEW Tibor Nagy Raply ??

Explanation / Answer

Density (?) = 3.154 kg/l = 3.154*10^3 kg/m3, Blood pressure = 34.2 mmHg = 34.2*(101325/760) Pa = 4559.625 Pa

P = ?*g*h

minimum height h = P/?*g

= 4559.625/(3.154*10^3*9.81) = 0.147 m = 147 mm.
