ResumoEm medicina veterinária a administração intravenosa de fluidos é amplamente utilizada. Essa prática necessita de um sistema que, constituído basicamente por um recipiente contendo a solução a ser administrada e um equipo que transfere a solução do recipiente ao paciente, garanta uma administração segura e estéril. Uma vez desenvolvido o sistema, taxas de escoamento devem ser determinadas a fim de se assegurar as quantidades de fluidos a serem administradas por unidade de tempo em situações clínicas reais. O presente trabalho objetivou a determinação do fluxo de escoamento de água em um sistema de infusão intravenosa idealizado para grandes animais com o regulador de fluxo totalmente aberto. A taxa de escoamento obtida foi igual a 7,32 l/h. Palavras-chave: Hidratação, desidratação, choque AbstractIntravenous (IV) administration of fluids is largely practiced in veterinary medicine. For this purpose, a sterile IV set and a large fluid container are required to assure a safe and efficient infusion. Once the IV set has been developed, fluid flow determinations must be established in order to assure the amount of fluid to be delivered to a given animal in a given time. The purpose of this study was to determine the flow of water through an IV set designed specifically for large animals with the flow clamp in a full open position. The flow rate achieved was 7,32 l/h.
