You are monitoring anesthesia on a 77 pound golden retriever that is having a splenectomy. the dog is experiencing bradycardia and the surgeon instructs you to administer atropine at a dosage of 0.02 mg/kg iv. the concentration of the atropine you have is 1/120 gr (0.54 mg/ml). how many milliliters will you administer? vtne

1.2 ml or approximately 1.3 ml

Explanation:

From the question, the weight of the Golden Retriever that is having a splenectomy is 77 pounds = 34.927 kg.

The dog is experiencing bradycardia and the surgeon instructs me to administer atropine at a dosage of 0.02 mg/kg IV.

From the question,the concentration of atropine available is 1/120 gr= 0.54 mg per millilitres. That is;

One contains 0.54 milligram per millilitres

x contains 0.02 milligram per kilogram .

Therefore, x will be equals to 0.02 mg/ kg÷ 0.54 mg/ ml

= 0.037 millilitres per kilogram.

Therefore, 0.037 ml/kg × 34.927 kg = 1.294 ml

Approximately, 1.3 ml.
