The purpose of this study is to determine which of two commonly used methods of manual pediatric fluid resuscitation (The "Push-Pull Technique" vs. the "Disconnect-Reconnect Technique") allows for the most rapid administration of normal saline when this is urgently required.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Experimental | As this is a crossover trial, the study arms denote the order in which the two interventions are performed by the subject. In Arm A, subjects will perform the "Push-Pull Technique" of manual fluid resuscitation first, followed by the "Disconnect-Reconnect Technique" second. A washout period of at least 30 minutes between each of the two interventions will be observed. |
|
| B | Experimental | As this is a crossover trial, the study arms denote the order in which the two interventions are performed by the subject. In Arm B, subjects will perform the "Disconnect-Reconnect Technique" of manual fluid resuscitation first, followed by the "Push-Pull Technique" second. A washout period of at least 30 minutes between each of the two interventions will be observed. |

| Push-Pull technique | Procedure | Participants will administer 900 mL (60 mL/kg) of NS to a model of a 15 kg toddler in shock. The intervention is the mode of administration of the fluid. For the "Push-Pull Technique", the 7 cm catheter extension tubing will be connected to one of the three ports of a triple stopcock. A second of the 3 ports of the triple stopcock will be connected to an IV tubing set connected to a 1 L bag of NS. A 60 mL syringe will be connected to the third port of the triple stopcock. On verbal prompt, participants will "pull" fluid from the bag of NS by withdrawing the plunger of the 60 mL syringe, filling it with saline. They will then toggle the switch of the triple stopcock, so that it is "off" to the bag of NS and "open" to IV catheter extension tubing leading to the model. They will then depress the syringe plunger, administering the fluid to the model. These steps will be repeated until each participant believes that they have administered the requested volume of fluid to the model. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall fluid infusion rate | Start Intervention Time is defined as the time that the model begins to effectively receive normal saline as administered by the participant, determined by the time at which fluid begins to collect in the graduated cylinder. End Intervention Time is defined as the time at which the model ceases to effectively receive further normal saline as determined by the time at which fluid stops collecting in the graduated cylinder. All testing will be videorecorded, with video reviews conducted by two independent and blinded outcome assessors using strict criteria to determine total intervention time (Total intervention time = end intervention time - start intervention time). At the time of subject testing, the research assistant will also record the total amount of normal saline collected in the graduated cylinder at the end of the intervention. Total intervention rate (mL/s) = volume of normal saline collected/Total intervention time. | From Date of Subject Randomization until Date Intervention Completed (Day 1) |

| Disconnect-Reconnect Technique | Procedure | Participants will administer 900 mL (60 mL/kg) of NS to a model of a 15 kg toddler in shock. The intervention is the mode of administration of the fluid. For the "Disconnect-Reconnect Technique", the proximal end of the 7 cm catheter extension tubing will be capped with a needleless adapter. The subject will be provided with 60 mL syringes filled with NS, rapidly prepared in real time by an assistant. Syringes will be prepared by withdrawing NS from a 1 L bag via a Gambro Accessory spike. The subject will administer the requested volume of NS to the model by 1. grabbing one of the fluid-filled syringes 2. connecting the fluid-filled syringe to the needleless adapter, and 3. depressing the syringe plunger resulting in administration of the NS to the model. These steps will be repeated until the subject believes they have administered the requested volume of NS to the model. Testing will begin on verbal prompt. The subject and assistant will not be permitted to switch roles. |

Any IV catheter dislodgement events will be recorded by the research assistant at the time of subject testing on the data collection form. The IV catheter is transfixed to the hand of the mannequin in typical clinical fashion. The distal end of the catheter is located within conduit tubing which leads to a 1 litre graduated cylinder. Connected to the proximal aspect (hub) of the IV catheter is a 7 inch long IV Catheter Extension set, which the participant will be in contact with as they administer the intervention. |

| Self-reported fatigue | Determined based upon responses to the study questionnaire which subjects will be asked to complete following performance of the intervention. | From Date of Subject Randomization until Date Intervention Completed (Day 1) |
| Fluid infusion rates for each of the three sequential fluid boluses | Bolus 1 rate = 300 mL/Time to effectively administer the first 300 mL of fluid; Bolus 2 rate = 300 mL/Time to effectively administer the second 300 mL of fluid; Bolus 3 rate = Remaining volume effectively administered beyond the first 600 mL/Time to administer this remaining volume. Fluid administration times for Boluses 1, 2 and 3, will be determined based on video review in a similar fashion as for the Primary Outcome [Volume/(Bolus end time-Bolus start time)]. | From Date of Subject Randomization until Date Intervention Completed (Day 1) |
