6. 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), which must be emptied after
use (see page 21). More fluid may be injected if the empty
IV-bag is attached to the umbilical reservoir overflow tube
(see page 8).
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
simulation 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 21).
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 simulation of stomach content removal. Suction
can be applied to the catheter as normal.
NOTE/Warning:
Do not insert fluids into the SimNewB manikin's stomach!
