Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of syringe size on the amount of time it takes a health care provider to administer a known volume (900 mL) of resuscitation fluid to a non-clinical, toddler-sized, model. The investigators hypothesize that syringe size will impact fluid resuscitation time.

Conditions

  • Fluid Resuscitation

Interventions

OTHER

900 mL of 0.9% Normal Saline

The intervention consists of the administration of 900 mL of Normal Saline to the model using the "Disconnection- Reconnection" method of manual fluid resuscitation. All syringes (syringe size based on study arm) will be prepared by research staff following subject randomization. Each subject will take the prepared syringes, and sequentially administer them to the model by 1. Selecting and connecting a fluid-filled syringe to the catheter extension set to permit fluid administration 2. Manually administering the fluid to the model by depressing the syringe plunger 3. Disconnecting and discarding the empty syringe 4. Repeating steps 1-3 as fast as possible until all 900 mL has been administered.
