The thing sticking out is a valve that lets air into the jar as the fluid is being administered. Some chemical/medicine would have been added to the bottle, then a tubing set inserted for administration. Because it is glasss, you cannot get anything out of it unless air goes in. It even says on the bottle "vacuum". It may be science, but it's not ROCKET science. LOL.
A needle did pierce the rubber stopper on the top (really the bottom, as the bottle is hung from the metal ring at the base onto the IV pole) but was pulled out, leaving a plastic sheath inside to connect to someone's IV tubing. Or it could have been used to draw up sterile water in syringes for reconstituting or diluting other drugs for injections. Interesting find. Kinda spooky how medicine has come so far, yet remained the same.
Sterile water--I don't THINK so...
