The Belmont Rapid Infusion System has had wide use by the Military in the Middle East war. The system enables the rapid delivery of large volumes of warmed fluid during a resuscitation. The following testimonial was reported on the manufacturer’s web site:
Soldiers are Alive Today Because of the Belmont
“We were able to sustain their lives long enough so the surgeons could fix them. When we were in Baghdad we pumped over 100 units of blood products through the Belmont on this single patient,and ten years ago…he would not have lived.”
This rapid infusion system is gaining popularity in trauma centers throughout the United States. Again, a testimonial from the manufacturer’s web site:
The Anesthesiology Practice at a Major New York Metro Area Medical Center
“Switched from the Level 1 to the Belmont Rapid Infuser about three months ago. We purchased two, one for our main O.R. and one for Obstetrics. We have already used it in a case requiring more than 32 units of blood. It was flawless and clean.”
