Mixing systems and methods include a mixing device comprising a primary tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and an inner lumen and at least one secondary tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and an inner lumen. The at least one secondary tube is substantially parallel to the primary tube. The distal end of the at least one secondary tube is fluidly connected to the primary tube at a junction located on the primary tube close to the distal end of the primary tube.

1. An intravenous fluid or medication delivery apparatus comprising: a central primary tube carrying a first intravenous fluid or medication and having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and defining an inner lumen;plurality of secondary tubes, each secondary tube carrying an intravenous fluid or medication different than the first intravenous fluid or medication and having a proximal end, a distal end, a length between and defined by the proximal and distal end, an outer surface and defining an inner lumen, each secondary tube being directly and fixedly attached to the primary tube such that a majority portion of the length of each secondary tube is in direct contact with the primary tube and each secondary tube runs substantially parallel to the primary tube;the distal end of each secondary tube being fluidly connected to the primary tube at a junction such that the intravenous fluid or medication in each secondary tube flows into the primary tube and mixes with the first intravenous fluid or medication, the junction being located close to the distal end of the primary tube. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the primary tube and the secondary tubes have separate and distinct entry points at their proximal ends. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a back-flow prevention mechanism coupled to the mixing device. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a connector apparatus attached to the distal end of the primary tube. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of secondary tubes is attached to the outer surface of the primary tube and extends longitudinally along the outer surface of the primary tube. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein at least one of the plurality of secondary tubes peels away from the primary tube at or near the proximal end of the secondary tube. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising at least one tertiary tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the at least one tertiary tube being substantially parallel to the primary tube and the secondary tubes; the distal end of the at least one tertiary tube having a separate and distinct exit point from an exit point of the primary tube. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein one or more of the primary tube and the secondary tubes is color-coded. 9. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a sealing clamp coupled to one or more of the primary tube and the secondary tubes. 10. An intravenous fluid delivery system, comprising: at least one carrier line carrying a first intravenous fluid or medication and having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and defining an inner lumen;a plurality of administration lines, each administration line carrying an intravenous fluid or medication and having a proximal end, a distal end, a length between and defined by the proximal and distal end, an outer surface and defining an inner lumen, each administration line being directly and fixedly attached to the carrier line such that a majority portion of the length of each administration line is in direct contact with the carrier line and each administration line runs substantially parallel to the at least one carrier line, and the at least one carrier line extends along substantially the entire length of the administration line;the distal end of each administration line being fluidly connected to the at least one carrier line at a junction such that the intravenous fluid or medication in each administration line flows into the carrier line and mixes with the first intravenous fluid or medication, the junction being located close to the distal end of the at least one carrier line. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein the at least one carrier line and the administration lines have separate and distinct fluid entry ports at their proximal ends. 12. The system of claim 10 wherein at least one of the plurality of administration lines is attached to the outer surface of the at least one carrier line and extends longitudinally along the outer surface of the at least one carrier line. 13. The system of claim 10 further comprising a connector apparatus attached to the distal end of the carrier line, the connector apparatus being configured to connect the carrier line to an intravenous fluid transfer component. 14. The system of claim 10 further comprising at least one secondary administration line having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface and an inner lumen, the at least one secondary administration line being substantially parallel to the at least one carrier line; the distal end of the at least one secondary administration line having a separate and distinct exit point from an exit point of the at least one carrier line such that a fluid traveling through the at least one secondary administration line does not mix with a fluid in the at least one carrier line. 15. The system of claim 10 wherein the at least one carrier line comprises two or more bundled carrier lines, each carrier line having at least one associated administration line fluidly connected thereto. 16. The system of claim 10 further comprising an occlusion clamp assembly coupled to one or more of the at least one carrier line and administration lines. 17. The system of claim 10 wherein one or more of the carrier line and the administration lines is made of a low absorption material. 18. The system of claim 10 wherein one or more of the carrier line and the administration lines is made of a low compliance material that allows for measurement of physiologic parameters. 19. The system of claim 10 wherein the carrier line is fluidly separate from the inner lumens of the administration lines along a proximal portion of the carrier line. 20. An intravenous fluid or medication delivery apparatus comprising: a substantially straight central primary tube carrying a first intravenous fluid or medication and having a proximal end, a distal end forming a single central exit point, a length between and defined by the proximal and distal end, and a wall having an outer surface and defining an inner lumen;a plurality of secondary tubes each carrying an intravenous fluid or medication different than the first intravenous fluid or mediation and having a proximal end, a distal end, a length between and defined by the proximal and distal end, an outer surface and defining an inner lumen, each secondary tube extending along the outer surface of the primary tube along a portion of the length of the primary tube, such that a majority portion of the length of the secondary tube is in direct contact with the primary tube,the distal end of each secondary tube being fluidly connected to the primary tube at a junction such that the intravenous fluid or medication flows into the primary tube and mixes with the first intravenous fluid or medication and the mixed intravenous fluids or medications exit through the single central exit point as a single stream, the junction being located close to the distal end of the primary tube. 21. The apparatus of claim 20 wherein at least one of the plurality of secondary tubes is attached to the outer surface of the primary tube and extends longitudinally along the outer surface of the primary tube. 22. The apparatus of claim 20 further comprising a back-flow prevention mechanism coupled to the apparatus.
