3. Drug & IV Administration
IV Access via the Umbilical Vein
IV fluids or simulated medications may be injected into the vein
in the umbilical cord. The fluids will accumulate in an abdominal
fluid reservoir (40 ml capacity) if the reservoir is not filled to
use the manual pulse. Fluids will not flow out of the reservoir
to the IV bag.
Cannulation of the umbilical vein can be performed with an
umbilical catheter (size 3.5F or 5F).
Artificial blood can be added to the reservoir, so that team
members can draw simulated blood when testing the catheter
for proper insertion depth.
Intraosseous Access
Intraosseous access can be established bilaterally in the lower
legs.
IV fluids or medications may be injected through the I/O
needle. Each leg contains a fluid reservoir of approximately
35 ml.
To prevent leakage, it must be emptied after each use (see
page 12).
Stomach Catherization
A feeding tube (size 8FR) can be inserted into the stomach.
A suction catheter (size 10FR) can be inserted into the
stomach for stomach content removal. Suction can be applied
to the catheter as normal.
