“mEq to mL” is a conversion used in electrolyte analysis to determine the volume of solution required to deliver a specific amount of electrolyte. Electrolytes are essential for maintaining body fluid balance and electrical neutrality. The milliequivalent (mEq) unit measures the charge of an electrolyte, while the milliliter (mL) unit measures volume. Converting mEq to mL allows clinicians to calculate the correct dosage of electrolyte solutions for intravenous or oral administration. This conversion ensures that patients receive the appropriate amount of electrolytes to maintain their electrolyte balance and overall health.
