Insertion technique for huge IV - the Rapid Infusion Catheter

See how one of the biggest IVs in anesthesiology is inserted. This is a 7 French (2.3mm) rapid infusion catheter capable of transfusing fluid at rates of 750 mL/min when connected to a Belmont rapid infuser.

Thanks to Dr. Adam Levine, program director of anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, for allowing me to use the equipment in this video!
