    AbstractThis study examined the effectiveness and ease of use of the ID Power Infuser, a pocket-sized device that can infuse fluid at rates up to 6 L/hr. Forty-six adults presenting with non-traumatic hypotension or clinical hypovolemia had 0.9% NaCl solution infused by the ID Power Infuser through a peripheral i.v. catheter. Eighteen patients with hemodynamic evidence of hypovolemia had a mean infusion rate of 2 L/hr with time to resolution of hypovolemia 28.5 +/- 7 min, 14 of these had an infusion rate > or = 4 L/hr with resolution of hypovolemia of 13.7 +/- 5.8 min. Resolution of hypovolemia was significantly faster compared with a group receiving gravity infusion. Use of the Power Infuser was deemed easy (VAS = 1.9 +/- 1.9 cm). The ID Power Infuser can accurately and quickly deliver i.v. crystalloid in the ED and has the potential to reduce morbidity, time in the ED, and costs.Copyright 2003, Elsevier Science (USA).
