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. Keywords Rapid infusion system fluid administration trauma Background In prehospital trauma and emergency settings the immediate establishment of venous access and rapid fluid administration may be difficult in resuscitation of patients in hypovolemic shock due to massive blood loss. Rapid infusion systems RIS have been successfully used for delivering large amount of intravenous fluids at standard and rapid flow rates. Although RIS are undoubtedly the convenient and most effective way of delivering fluids in short span of time but it has its own limitations. We present a novel device which can be successfully used in prehospital trauma and emergency settings. The steps for designing this equipment are as follows Figure 1 1.
