SETUP
Administering IV Fluids
To prevent clogging of the IV system, use only purified water to
simulate IV drugs with SimMan 3G Trauma.
Acceptable types of purified water:
– Distilled water OR
– De-ionized water.
Do not apply force when administering drugs to the IV Arm.
Priming the IV Arm System
1 Use a syringe to inject blood concentrate and 500 cc of water
into an IV bag with tubing. This will serve as the blood source.
Attach the “blood source” bag with IV tubing to one of the
tubes exiting the manikin’s arm.
2 Attach an empty bag with IV tubing to the second tube exiting
the manikin’s arm. This bag will serve as the collection reservoir.
3 Control the flow of blood from the arm, via the clamp on the
collection reservoir tubing. Put the collection bag on the floor to
allow the now closed system to gravity feed.
4 Hang the “blood source” bag from an IV pole and open the
clamp to allow concentrate to flow through arm.
Cleaning the IV Arm
Flush the IV Arm with warm water at the end of each day.
