  • Title: High-flow sheaths for pediatric fluid resuscitation: a comparison of flow rates with standard pediatric catheters.
    Author: Idris AH, Melker RJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 1992 Jun; 8(3):119-22. PubMed ID: 1614899.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated high-flow intravenous devices designed specifically for fluid resuscitation of infants and children. Fluid flow rates with 4-, 5-, and 6-Fr high-flow sheaths and 18-, 20-, and 22-gauge catheters were measured and compared. Flow rate is significantly faster with the 4-Fr sheath (P less than 0.0001) than with the 18-, 20-, or 22-gauge catheter. The high flow rates possible with the sheaths make them ideal for use in patients who require rapid fluid resuscitation.
