| Abstract | Diarrhea and dehydration are the leading cause of childhood deaths in Developing Countries, killing approximately 525,000 children per year. Contributing to this is the unavailability of Intravenous (IV) fluid pumps in the Third World because they are expensive and require electricity. The goal of this project was to create a practical and novel IV Fluid Delivery System (IV FDS) for use in Developing Countries. |
