title: Novel rapid infusion device for patients in emergency situations.
abstract: Rapid fluid administration is often required for resuscitation when patients are admitted in emergency department with hypovolemic shock or excessive blood loss. Various methods have been described earlier to increase the fluid administration speed. Larger vein size, larger bore cannula, height of fluid, pressure over fluid bottle etc. are some of methods described in such situations.We here describe a novel method to administer intravenous fluid rapidly and this method can be utilized in emergency and trauma settings.
