ABOUT THE INTRAVENOUS LEG
The Life / form
®
CPR Dog IV leg has been designed to provide a realistic experience in
locating the cephalic vein of the right foreleg. Students may then practice needle insertion for
blood sampling or IV administration. For longer vein life, always use a small needle (22-gauge
or smaller). Never use dull or burred needles. The vein tubing may be easily replaced when it is
no longer usable.
Setting Up the IV Leg
The
Life / form
®
CPR Dog IV leg comes with the supplies needed to perform most procedures.
To perform intravenous infusions, use distilled water or simulated blood. To set up the trainer
for a blood draw:
1. Add distilled water to the pint bottle with blood powder and mix well. Handle the blood
carefully, as it will stain skin and fabric.
2. Close the clamp on IV fluid supply bag A and fill to 500 ml.
