Overview
- Rapid infusion of fluids and blood products can be a life-saving intervention in patients dealing with hypotension and hemorrhagic shock.
Indications
Contraindications
Rapid Infusion Methods
- Infusion Pumps: Commonly used in acute care. Maximum flow rate of 1000 mL/h.
- Gravity: Fluid flow is determined by multiple factors, including luminal flow, length of the tube and where it is positioned.
- Pressure Bag: Applying a form of pressure to the bag can increase flow rate, but often not substantially.
- "Push- pull technique": Manual syringe infusion typically used in pediatric patients using a syringe and three-way stopcock.
- Traditional Rapid Infuser:
- LifeFlow PLUS: A hand-operated rapid infuser that allows clinicians to rapidly deliver blood, blood components, crystalloids or colloid fluids to critically ill patients requiring volume resuscitation.
