This infusion rate was needed to maintain a constant baseline pressure within the open biliary system.

These are dose-related and more frequent at high infusion rates ( 3 mg/minute).

Longer infusion rates will result in a reduced plasma level and a much lower left ventricular peak concentration.

Children may require higher infusion rates (up to 1.0 ( g/kg)/min).

Such adverse reactions can often be controlled by slowing the infusion rate.

As the blood pressure approaches goal, the infusion rate should be increased in smaller increments and titrated less frequently.

The infusion rate is titrated with the patient's response and can be altered by the nursing staff within the parameters of the prescription.

This is achieved by decreasing the infusion rate by 10 per cent every 6 hours over 2 days if the dosage rate was low.

If electrocardiogram changes observed, slow infusion rate.

The infusion rate can be adjusted by a floor nurse before surgery and by the anesthesiologist intraoperatively.
