gtt stands for "drops" in medical terminology.
you need to determine the type of solution [fluid] that you are refering to in order to determine the number of drops.
So, for instance, a crystaloid solution [e.g. normal saline] has 20 drops per ml
Therefore 8mls would form 8 x 20 drops = 160 drops
A colloid solution should as [gelofusine or blood] has only 15 drops per ml
therefore 8mls would form 8 x 15 drops = 120 drops
Hope this helps.

How many drops per minute will you give if the order is 500 ml of D5W in 5 hours the drip factor is 15 gtt equals 1 ml?
To calculate the drops per minute needed for the 500 ml of D5W to be administered over 5 hours, first, convert 5 hours to minutes (5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes). Then calculate the drops per minute by dividing the total volume (500 ml) by the time in minutes (300 minutes) and the drip factor (15 gtt/mL), i.e., 500 ml / 300 min x 15 gtt/mL = 25 gtt/min.

If you have 1 gtt what is that equal to in a teaspoon?
1 tsp is equal to 5ml. 1 gtt ( 1 drop) is equal to 0.05 ml....because 20 drops in 1 ml. so 5ml divided by 0.05= 100 gtt or drops. so I think 100 gtt or drops in 1 tsp.

What is the difference between micro drip and macro drip?
The drop factor differs (# of gtts/mL). A set that delivers large drops per mL (10-20 gtt/ml, usually 15) is called macrodrip set. One uses smaller gtts (60gtt/mL) is called microdrip. Usually the macrodrip set is used if the IV rate is to infuse > 100ml/hr. Vice versa, Microdrip < 100ml/hr volume. Here is the drip rate calculation: Volume (mL)/ time (min) x drip factor= gtt/min ranges 30-100 gtt/min.
