Every gauge of angiocath can only take so many mLs/minute, and that decreases with hubs/extensions. I’ve been in trauma resuscitations where the surgeon has had me hook the Belmont directly to the 16-gauge angiocath. I didn’t think it would work, but it did. Thanks for the video! Needed a refresher.
Sometimes double, triple or quad lumen central lines are not superior to one 14g or 16gperipheral IVs in a large peripheral vessel. The reason for the higher pressure and slower rate is that most central lines are one 16g and two 18g with a much longer distance to cover to get to the end point, making it inferior to a shorter, similar sized bored peripheral. Ideal, of course, would be 14g peripheral or a cordis. Thank you for this video.

Can you please explain what you were talking about in the beginning I didn’t really hear you. If you ever wanted to dump a whole volume of blood?

maximum pressure limit is 300.
Take the microclave off of the central line and the large bore IV and then reconnect and you'll fix the high pressure alarm.
