1. A method for heating fluid from a plurality of fluid sources to generate a combined solution for intravenous delivery to a patient, comprising:
passing fluid from the plurality of fluid sources to a heating chamber top portion comprising a plurality of fluid inlet tubes;
collectively receiving at least some of the fluid from the plurality of fluid sources in a heating chamber coupled to the heating chamber top portion;
heating the received fluid from the plurality of fluid sources to an approximate body temperature of the patient via at least one heating element within the heating chamber;
mixing, by an agitator, the received fluid from the plurality of fluid sources in the heating chamber into the combined solution, wherein the agitator mixes the received fluid from the plurality of fluid sources by rotationally turning; and
passing the heated combined solution to an outlet tube.
