We don't use pumps here, infact pumps are a big no-no.  Our staff are required 
to utilized pressure bags wide open alone will not cut it on most patients.   
Patients with a 20g IV or larger can get a 1 liter bolus with a pressure bag in 
about 20 minutes.  We are also in the process of beginning to initiate humeral 
IO access for the difficult stick patient.  The large bore humeral IO access 
allows 5liters/hour infusion.  If you go to EZ IO you can see how using a 
humeral IO access flows quickly into the subclavian.  Great for hydrating 
patients and working toward a regular IV access and avoiding the risks 
associated with Central Line placement.

We don't rely on pumps, the nurse runs the fluids wide open. We have been able 
to get 2 liters in within 60 mins if we have 2 IV sites.

I'm glad we're not the only ones with woefully slow pumps!  We make up for it 
by using 2 or 3 infusion sites; for instance, 999 m/hr in each arm and through 
a central line, so about 1L every 20 minutes.

Anyone have a good article to use as evidence for initial fluid bolus?

I completely agree with George. 999 mL/hr is WAY too slow. The problem is the 
pumps can't go any faster, and many times the patients have poor IV lines that 
can't take pressure bag boluses ( because many times we are putting in the 
central line)

Phil and Terry,

Am I off base here?

To me, and the clinicians at our institution, it is often not so much the 
volume, but the rate of infusion and how promptly to deliver the volume that is 
the controversy. And there is a very active debate at our institution on this.

I suggest that 999 ml/kg is largely an inadequate rate. Our surgical 
intensivists totally support boluses administered by pressure bag and at a 
minimum wide open going in fast.

However, many of our medical intensivists and nurses seem to believe that
999 ml/hr is acceptable and even ideal.  It makes sense to me that sometimes
999 is ok, sometimes,

but often it is inadequate and puts the patient at risk for remaining in a 
state of hypo perfusion. And even if fluid overload is a concern rapid bolus, 
with assessment after each is in order in septic shock and severe sepsis.

Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Initial Fluid Bolus

Probably the best thing to do. And definitely simpler than trying to figure out 
a more precise fluid load estimate. I addressed this issue with the primary 
investigators and research coordinators for the EUPHRATES trial(for which I am 
the PI for the international trial). We are looking at endotoxin removal with 
hemoperfusion in patients with septic shock identified to have high endotoxin 
activity.  One of the entry criteria, which also includes a certain level of 
vasopressor support, is 30 ml/kg actual body weight of crystalloid(or colloid 
equivalent) fluid resuscitation.

?From a purist standpoint, fluid bolus in obese septic shock patients should be 
somewhat less per kg than in someone who is normal body habitus since the 
intravascular volume expands at a somewhat lower  % as body weight increases in 
the obese patient. However no one has ever used, in septic shock research 
trials, formulas that are available but not well validated to adjust for blood 
volume in the obese patient..?

I'm using actual body weight, and it works out very well. I think if we use 
ideal body weight, it will under resuscitate the patient.
