Now attach the subclavian
and internal jugular veins
from the shoulder to the top
of the “Y” connector. After
attaching the subclavian and
the internal jugular to the “Y”
connector, apply the strap-
ping ties to ensure a tight seal
of the tubing to the connector.
Attach the fluid bag with the
open tube to the bottom of
the “Y” connector. These ties
will remain in position until the
tubing is changed. To remove
them, simply cut them off.
(See figure 10.)
The external jugular vein is
set up with its own fluid bag.
Connect the fluid bag with
the straight connector to the
external jugular vein. Do not
use strapping ties to perma-
nently attach the vein to the
connector, as it will be dis-
connected after each use for
easier installation later.
(See
figure 11.)
Mix the blood solution
according to the instructions
on the bottle. Close the slide
clamps on both fluid bags.
Pour contents into the bag,
seal the top of the fluid bag,
and hang on an IV stand.
(sold separately.) The bottom
of the fluid bag should not be
more than 12" to 14" above
the simulator.
(See figure
11.)
