900 mL of 0.9% Normal Saline
"The intervention consists of the administration of 900 mL of Normal Saline to the model using the Disconnection- Reconnection method of manual fluid resuscitation. All syringes (syringe size based on study arm) will be prepared by research staff following subject randomization. Each subject will take the prepared syringes, and sequentially administer them to the model by 1. Selecting and connecting a fluid-filled syringe to the catheter extension set to permit fluid administration 2. Manually administering the fluid to the model by depressing the syringe plunger 3. Disconnecting and discarding the empty syringe 4. Repeating steps 1-3 as fast as possible until all 900 mL has been administered."
