Quantitative assessment of required separator fluid volume in multi-infusion settings.

CONCLUSION: The separator fluid volume was neither affected by the administration rate nor by solvent. Glucose 5% required a marginally smaller separator fluid volume than NaCl 0.9%, however its clinical impact is debatable. A larger intravenous tubing volume requires a larger separator fluid volume. However, the ratio of separator fluid volume to the tubing's volume decreases as the tubing volume increases.
