Intravenous Catheterization for the Administration of Large Volumes of Fluid

Abstract

Many intravenous catheters have a slow delivery rate, are difficult to hook up or become disconnected or kinked off if the cow starts to move around. To overcome some of these problems, a non-conventional catherization system was improvised using a Ral-gun needle, a urethral catheter (Sovereign, Monojet, trademark, 8 French size) and a strip of rubber cut from an old inner tube.
