Novel Device for Rapid Fluid Administration

Fluid Administration With LifeFlow vs Push/Pull

The aim of the study is to determine if a new device is more effective in fluid administration than devices currently used when resuscitating pediatric patients in septic shock. This study will take place in a simulation lab setting and will not include the use of patients.

In this study, participants will be randomized to one of three devices in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit simulation setting. Each participant will be provided the device, a 1L NS bag, tubing and a 22g IV. In each scenario, the objective will be to administer 3 20cc/kg boluses within a 15 minute period to the simulated patient.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pediatric emergency medicine or pediatric intensive care unit nurses, pediatric residents, medics and attendings.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Inability to operate equipment due to illness or physical impairment.
