Replacing Skin And Veins In Iv Arm; Replacing Iv/Io Leg - Laerdal SimBaby Mode D'emploi

Replacing Skin and Veins in IV Arm

When excessive leaking occurs at the puncture sites, a new vein and
skin should be installed to reduce loss of fluid.
To replace the vein
Pull the skin and vein off the arm. While doing this make sure you
hold the simulator's shoulder (not the torso) with your other hand.
Route a new vein along the groove in the arm, leaving two
ends of approximately equal lengths. Support the vein so it does
not fall out of the groove while you pull on a new arm skin.
Slide a new arm skin over the arm and vein. Make sure that the
two holes line up with the ends of the groove close to the
shoulder. Use of talcum powder may ease this procedure.
MAINTENANCE
Pull the open ends of the vein through the holes in the arm skin.
