Indications

Line 3:		Line 3:

	==Indications==		==Indications==
	~~Some applications include: sepsis, trauma, hypotension/shock, EMS, military and pediatric.~~		*[[Sepsis]]
			*[[Trauma]]
	~~● Sepsis:~~ Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that results from the body’s overwhelming response to infection and affects millions of patients. LifeFlow rapid transfusion delivers, on average, 500 mL of fluid in less than 2.5 minutes through a 20g IV catheter. This allows for fluid to be replaced in patients in critical condition. Rapid infusion reduces sepsis complications and can save lives and significantly reduce hospital expenses		*[[Hypotension]]/[[shock]]

	● Trauma: In patients with severe hemorrhage, every minute of resuscitation delay increases mortality. This is particularly true for traumatic brain injury patients. Standard methods of blood infusion are often too slow, particularly when vascular access is limited to smaller-gauge IV’s or IO. In-line warmers create additional resistance that may further slow infusion speed.

	● Hypotension/ Shock: Shock requires immediate diagnosis and treatment, as symptoms can worsen quickly and permanent injury or death can result. Treatment protocols call for early, rapid, and controlled administration of fluids.


	~~● EMS: Emergency transfusions is starting to become available in some ground and air emergency transport,~~

	● Pediatric: In children with decompensated shock from conditions such as hypovolemia, sepsis, hemorrhage, and anaphylaxis, rapid restoration of intravascular volume is required to correct hypotension and reverse shock. PALS guidelines specifically note that “early recognition and rapid intervention are critical to halting the progression from compensated shock to hypotensive shock ~~to cardiopulmonary failure and cardiac arrest.”~~

	● The fastest method for IV fluid delivery is mechanical rapid infusers. There are three different products currently commercially available, all of which limit infusion pressure to about 300 mmHg and then are able to slow/ stop pressure from rising past this point. Cost is the main downside of these devices in comparison to other methods of infusion.
