1) how do the Russians do it ?

2) Sterilized BP cuff Gauge to IV luer locked line (in line filter ?) with 
needle spiked into your bottle !
3) 60' of IV line & a tall building
4) Blood "pump" Infusion Sets & good hands
5) In line stopcock with sterile 60cc syringe + operator (Probably need a 
"Y" to work off 2 bottles +)
6) In line accordion device
7) good luck
