In parenteral nutrition, each intravenous solution has an optimum infusion rate and proper management of administration is a very important issue. In the case of not using an infusion pump (gravity infusion) and using an infusion pump which controls the number of droplets, the administered volume depends on the droplet size, i.e. droplet volume. While the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Bulletin No. 112) specifies the number of droplets per mL for intravenous administration sets, there is a lack of information on how the physical characteristics of solutions affect droplet volume. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated droplet volume for various intravenous solutions during administration and found that the solution density, surface tension (solutions with and without surfactants), and infusion rate all affect droplet volume.
