Using Lucina
225
Medication and Fluid Administration
Lucina supports pharmacological interventions through pre-programmed pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic parameters that are established for more than 50 intravenous drugs.
Standard syringes and infusion devices can be utilized to administer medications and fluids through
bilateral IV access sites at the dorsal metacarpal, cephalic, basilic, median antebrachial and median
cubital locations.
IMPORTANT: Use only clear distilled water, distilled water tinted with food coloring, or distilled water
mixed with white vinegar (50/50) inside the mannequin. Administration of any other type of fluid is
NOT supported and may damage the system.
Vein Punctures
When the veins are punctured, clinically appropriate flashback occurs. To enable flashback, the IV
system must be primed prior to use. Ensure the cap is on the IV Drain port prior to priming or using the
IV system to avoid any fluid overflow.
The vein tubing must be replaced after a certain number of punctures to avoid any fluid leakage within
the simulator arms. Leakage will occur when the IV system is primed.
Replace vein tubing after:
• A single puncture from a 14 gauge cannula or needle
• Three punctures with a 16 gauge cannula or needle
• 10 punctures from a 18 gauge or 20 gauge cannula or needle
NOTE: A 14 gauge needle can be used in the forearm veins only. Do not use a 14 gauge cannula or
needle on the antecubital or dorsal veins.
IMPORTANT: After each use of the IV system, the system must be cleaned. The IV system must be
empty prior to priming or using the IV system. For more information on cleaning the IV system, see
Cleaning the IV System in the Care and Maintenance section.
Priming the IV System
To prime the IV system:
1. Ensure the IV system is empty prior to filling; connect the 140 mL syringe to
the IV drain port and withdraw fluid and/or air until a vacuum is formed.
2. Fill a 50 mL syringe with distilled water (and clinically appropriate food
coloring if desired for added realism).
