Oxytocin mU/min <-> mL/hr
Oxytocin infusion conversion aid: for a chosen bag concentration (mU/mL) converts an ordered dose in mU/min to the pump rate in mL/hr and, in the same call, a pump rate back to the delivered dose (ACOG induction titration context).

Example
- Bag concentration
- 30 units / 500 mL (60 mU/mL)
- Ordered dose
- 6 mU/min
- Pump rate
- 12 mL/hr
Result: At 60 mU/mL: 6 mU/min = 6 mL/hr; 12 mL/hr = 12 mU/min.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What you enter
- Bag concentration
- Ordered dose (mU/min)
- Pump rate (mL/hr)
How this is calculated
ACOG Induction of Labor (Practice Bulletin); standard low-dose and high-dose oxytocin titration. mU/min <-> mL/hr conversion: rate (mL/hr) = dose (mU/min) x 60 / concentration (mU/mL).
