Rapid infusion catheters (RIC) are useful for patients requiring prompt, large volume fluid resuscitation. This high-flow, low-resistance device may be readily inserted in a large peripheral vein via a standard guidewire/dilator/catheter insertion technique.

2021年11月2日 · Rapid Infusion Catheters, or RIC Lines, are a product line of large bore peripheral IV catheters designed to be placed easily and rapidly in hemorrhaging patients. The catheters come in 2 sizes: 7 Fr (13.3 Ga) and 8.5 Fr (11.8 Ga).

1. Place 20G PIV in left or right saphenous vein (Why the saphenous vein? In neuro when the head of the bed is turned away from us, the feet are readily available to the anesthesiologist to monitor for infiltration of the line) 2. Place a blue cap/clave/max plus on the 20G PIV, do not dress or tape the line. 3.

2) Rapid Infuser Catheter (RIC) Exchange Sets. Commonly referred to as: RIC set or RIC line; RIC lines are a superb invention, that allow for rapid upsizing of an IV as small as a 20G (pink) to a very large bore catheter, in a peripheral vein. The main advantages of RIC lines are: Can be inserted in peripheral veins

2025年3月1日 · The Rapid Infusion Catheter (RIC) has transformed intravenous (i.v.) access, allowing for rapid fluid delivery peripherally. It may negate the need for a central vein sheath to be placed. This review explores the clinical utility of RICs while addressing technical considerations and potential risks.

2015年7月13日 · Fortunately, some clever Canadian has gone so far as to test this catheter and a whole bunch of other catheters to determine their maximal flow rates with normal saline. The RIC performed best, delivering a torrential flow rate of 600ml/min (603 +/- 21ml, to be precise; and without a spring-loaded cannula hub).

2024年12月26日 · Fundamentally, a RIC is a large bore peripheral IV (PIV) that is inserted by modified Seldinger technique. RICs offer distinct advantages over traditional IV catheters, as they allow for significantly higher flow rates from a peripheral inserted device without the risks of large-bore central venous access.

Feel RIC catheter over wire; Use scalpel to "nick" the skin; Remove dilator and wire while applying proximal pressure to avoid blood loss; Stitch to skin and apply dressing; Complications. Bleeding/hematoma; Failure to place (with loss of existing IV access and local tissue infiltration) Thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, vessel perforation

The ARROW ® Brand Trauma products are designed with critical time factors in mind. Innovative devices like the ARROW ® Brand EID (Emergency Infusion Device) and RIC (Rapid Infusion Catheter) incorporate high flow rates, simpler insertion techniques and the ARROW ® Brand kink-resistant sheaths.
