Displacement Values: The Video Series

Posted on 13/05/202013/05/2020 by MM Health

Over the course of the first two weeks of May, I have published a number of videos on my Podcast and social media platforms on the topic of displacement values. While the videos have no audio commentary, they are still useful if you want to get to grips with the concept; which, I have found, tends to confuse a lot of pharmacy graduates. Nurses, doctors and pharmacy technicians should also find them useful.

I’m working on a full lecture that incorporates both these videos and additional material for those who want a more comprehensive treatment of the subject. Let me know what you would like to see in the lecture and look out for it in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, I’ve put together the videos from the past two weeks in one convenient location below. Enjoy

Displacement Values: Series Conclusion

In this post we present the last two examples from our displacement value series. We’ll be moving on to other calculation questions in a few days. In the meantime, let us know how you’ve found the displacement value series.

Displacement Values: Injections 002

This is another quick example involving calculations of solid in liquid displacement values.

Suppositories 005: Displacement Values

We continue our series of displacement value calculations. This is another example, involving suppositories where the displacement value is less than one.

Suppositories 004: Displacement Value Less Than One

In this episode we see how a displacement value less than one does not change the fundamental calculations involving displacement values. However, it does mean that the suppositories weigh less than their nominal weight.

Displacement Value Calculation for Suppositories

In this video we look at how to calculate the displacement value, given other relevant parameters, when considering suppositories.

Displacement Value Injection Calculation

In today’s example we look at a calculation for a solid-in-liquid formulation involving the reconstitution of a powder for injection.

Displacement Values 002

In this episode we continue looking at displacement value calculations involving suppositories. Pause the video after the question and try to work it out before viewing the answer.

Displacement Value Example

Understanding displacement value calculations is a challenge for a large number of pharmacy graduates, especially in relation to suppositories. This example shows how to tackle one such question. Look out for our Displacement Values Masterclass for a more comprehensive tutorial.
