title: A comparison of flow rates between Baxter Continu-Flo and Baxter InterLink Continu-Flo.
abstract: Drip chamber size on intravenous administration sets varies. The practitioner may select a minidrip intravenous administration set to administer low flow rate IVs or medications. Baxter's InterLink Continu-Flo is available in minidrip size without restrictive tubing. The purpose of this study was to determine how much faster the nonrestrictive InterLink tubing would deliver i.v. fluid than would the Baxter Continu-Flo set with its minidrip chamber and restrictive tubing.
