1. An injection site for location between a parenteral source of fluid and a patient, which comprises:

  • a first inlet to which a conduit from a first liquid container is adapted to be connected;

    a second inlet adapted to receive needle-injected medication;

    an outlet through which the combined first liquid and injected medication can flow with said outlet adapted for coupling to a conduit;

    a main body portion defining a single chamber that communicates with said first and second inlets and said outlet, said chamber having a sloped wall between said first inlet and said outlet, said chamber having a cross-sectional area adjacent said first and second inlets that is greater than the cross-sectional area of said chamber adjacent said outlet, said chamber having a cross-sectional area that is substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of said first inlet;

    said chamber having a length that is no greater than 1.5 inches to aid in preventing the medication that is injected from dropping through air;

    said second inlet and said outlet being substantially coaxial, whereby the needle is substantially prevented from piercing the chamber, and said chamber being constructed to provide unobstructed flow of the first liquid and medication to said outlet.
