Below is a picture of a rapid infuser in the Ben Taub General Hospital  
Emergency Center Shock Room.  This is a picture taken to be sent to the  trauma 
center reviewers who cited us as being "out of compliance" because we did  not 
have one in the emergency center.     So.......we  brought one from the OR and 
took this picture of it in the EC.   We  were busy with a hypotensive 
hypovolemic patient (who did very well with fluid  restriction and hypotensive 
resuscitation) and took off our lab coat and hung it  on the rapid infuser.

Yes, that IS my coat.    and YES that IS a rapid  infuser.
