This method of fluid administration involves a single healthcare provider. A triple stopcock and IV tubing are required. A. The triple stopcock is toggled to the OFF position to the patient. The provider withdraws fluid from the fluid bag into the syringe by pulling back the syringe plunger. B. The provider then toggles the triple stopcock to the OFF position to the IV fluid bag (ON to the patient). The syringe plunger is then depressed resulting in administration of the fluid within the syringe to the patient. Steps A and B are repeated as quickly as possible until the desired volume of fluid has been administered.
