Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Test whether Basic Life Support (BLS) providers can successfully place Enzymatically Augmented Subcutaneous Infusion (EASI) Access lines for subcutaneous infusion, and characterize intravascular absorption of EASI-administered (tracer-labelled) glucose (D5W).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

EASI

Subjects will undergo placement of EASI catheters. All subjects in whom EASI catheters are placed, will receive Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (HRH) as part of the EASI placement. (No subject will receive HRH, other than as part of EASI catheter placement.)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Human recombinant hyaluronidase (HRH)

Intervention Type DRUG

150u HRH administered via EASI access line, prior to infusion of 250 D5W (5% dextrose in water)

Enzymatically Augmented Subcutaneous Infusion (EASI) line placement

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Subjects will under placement of an EASI line. This entails placement of a small (20-gauge) catheter in the upper back, in the subcutaneous space.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects will be at least 18 years of age and have none of the following conditions:

* pregnancy (negative urine pregnancy test to be performed before study participation),
* diabetes, or coagulopathic (including taking any anticoagulants);
* Subjects cannot be taking steroids or other immunosuppressants.
* Because of the potential for reduced hyaluronidase effectiveness, the study excludes patients taking more than 80 mg daily aspirin, as well as any patients taking ACTH, antihistamines, or estrogen other than in oral contraceptive preparations.
* Subjects will not be required to fast before the study, but will not allowed to eat or drink during the EASI infusion or the phlebotomy sampling time frame.
