Here, the rate of infusion is 40mLs/hr.

What is Infusion?

An infusion may be defined as a process of being extracted some compounds from original products.

To find the dose required = 0.5 (mg) x patient weight (kg)

                                           = 0.5mg x 80 = 40mg

Available Aminophylline is 500mg in 500 mLs = 1mg in a mL

To find the actual rate of infusion = [tex]\frac{40 * 500 mL }{500}[/tex]

                                                         = [tex]\frac{40 mg * 1ml}{1 mg}[/tex]  = 40mLs/hour.      

Therefore, the rate of infusion is 40mLs/hr.
