The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for
hypovolemic shock,
as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha.
This is a function of Poiseuille's law, which governs the flow of fluid through a tube: essentially, the shorter the tube, the smoother the flow, and the larger the tube's diameter, the faster the flow, meaning that large - bore, short catheters are the best choice when a large volume of fluid must be delivered quickly, such
as in cases of
hypovolemic shock.6, 7 T - ports and additional tubing (e.g., extension sets) may decrease both the amount of fluid and the speed of delivery.
