AbstractRapid fluid infusion is generally augmented by compression devices (pumps) that take advantage of compressibility of modern plastic fluid containers. The most commonly used pumps are not the most effective pressure sources for driving pressure. This paper describes the experience at a Level I trauma hospital with a relatively new device that serves as a more efficient source of pressure for rapid fluid administration. This device, commercially manufactured but locally modified, increases capability with minimal expense and additional training.
