External pressure devices are often utilized to increase the flow rates of IV fluids in exsanguinating patients. However, increasing the flow rate by this method also increases the rate at which IV bags need changing. Time is lost and valuable personnel are preoccupied in maintaining the numerous hand-pumped external pressure devices and IV bags. A systematic evaluation comparing the hand-pumped device with a new, pneumatic external pressure device (Infusor-1, Medical Innovations, Inc., Phoenix, AZ) is presented. A new multiunit configuration (Infusor-Rack) for the pneumatic device is also described. We found a significant decrease in IV bag take-down/setup time with the new pneumatic pressure device. This system is faster, more reliable, and easier to use than the standard hand-pumped pressure bag and should be viewed as a practical improvement in the fluid delivery system.
外部加压装置常被用于提高失血患者静脉输液的流速。然而，用这种方法提高流速也会增加更换静脉输液袋的频率。这会浪费时间，而且宝贵的医护人员会忙于维护众多手动加压的外部装置和静脉输液袋。本文呈现了一项将手动加压装置与一种新型气动外部加压装置（Infusor-1，Medical Innovations, Inc., Phoenix, AZ）进行比较的系统评估。还介绍了该气动装置的一种新型多单元配置（Infusor-Rack）。我们发现，使用新型气动加压装置后，静脉输液袋的拆卸/安装时间显著减少。该系统比标准的手动加压袋更快、更可靠且更易于使用，应被视为输液系统的一项切实改进。
