Laerdal Infant Virtual I.V. - Manual (Page 13)

• Full integration with the Laerdal Competence Management System Version 1.7.1 or above allows
students to remotely review progress and understand problem areas.
Feature List
1. The Infant Virtual I.V.™ incorporates the use of developmentally appropriate skills and considers
the specific needs of infants to promote a complete understanding of IV catheterization in the
infant.
2. Over 170 unique case scenarios (85 in each career):
a. There are over 20 case scenario specific and site specific simulation variables that add
huge depth and variability to the product, spanning the range of infant physiology and
pathophysiology.
b. Each case scenario debriefing is driven by the corresponding procedure, providing a very
accurate instructional environment for each case.
c. Each case scenario focuses on specific learning objectives defined in the curriculum pro-
vided with the application.
3. There are 19 different infant models, ranging in skin color, weight, and age (from preterm to 15
months). Each model presents different challenges and characteristics in the context of IV cath-
eterization.
4. There are 15 possible cannulation sites for each model, each with individualized debriefing cri-
teria. Site availability and assessment is driven by the particular details of each case scenario.
That is over 19 times 15 (285) different insertion site models, not to mention the variability that
comes from the different case scenarios.
5. The Competency Review allows you to:
a. View individual case scenarios and cognitive test assessments.
b. View a learning curve for your entire competency training.
c. Focus in on the last 10, 25, or 50 cases to understand your current problems and overall
progress.
d. Identify specific skill weaknesses.
6. Pre-existing conditions including in-place equipment; finding alternatives to the desirable inser-
tion sites; IV infiltrates; and other complications add a sense of urgency to the procedure and
provide the user with an accurate portrayal of real life situations.
