Extract

There is controversy concerning the best method for rapid fluid administration in shock secondary to severe or continuing blood loss. Some authors recommend immediate cutdown, while others support percutaneous central intravenous lines. In addition, the data available on maximum flow rates for various catheters is limited and does not compare different solutions. To gain more insight into these problems we have studied the flow rates for different lengths and gauges of catheters utilizing various physiologic solutions.
