- related: IV and Lines
- tags: #literature #icu
- max flow rate in cc/min
- massive transfusion: 150 cc/min
- 2 large IV: 18+20 or 16
- IO: typically 18
- sizes in french and gauge
- Triple lumen: flow rate is decreased because increased length, total 100 cc/min
- one triple lumen, although 7 Fr, provides the same flow rate as one 18G IV
