Pressure Bag
A pressure bag, also called a pressure pump, is a special bag used with an IV bag. The IV bag contains fluids (NS, blood, medications or nutrients) and connects via IV tubing to an IV line in the patient.
IV fluids normally drip into the IV line. The pressure pump is used to help the IV fluids either run faster or continuously flow into the patient.
Place the fluids in pressure bag and pump to 300mg Hg to keep pressure bag inflated.
Ensure keep pressure bag inflated between 250-300mm Hg.
Pressure bag also used in arterial line.
