C. Intravenous Infusions
1.
Begin with a fully pressurized arm. See procedure A under General Instructions for Use.
2.
Select the appropriate intravenous infusion needles or butterfly included. Nasco recom-
mends small gauge needles (20- to 25-gauge).
3.
Make sure the arm is palm down and the clamps on both fluid supply bags are closed.
4.
Simulate cleansing the injection site with distilled water.
5.
Insert the IV needle or butterfly into a vein. Flashback will indicate proper insertion.
(See Figure 8.)
6.
Attach the needle or butterfly to the tubing from the infusion solution (not supplied) or a
third fluid supply bag (sold separately) with the latex adapter if needed.
(See Figure 9.)
7.
Open the clamp on the resting fluid supply bag.

8.
Open the clamp on the infusion solution or the third fluid supply bag. Proof of proper
procedure will be evidenced by the flow of fluid from the infusion solution or the third fluid
supply bag.
(See Figure 10)
Note:
This procedure may dilute your simulated blood solution.
D. Intramuscular Injections
The procedure for administering intramuscular injections can be practiced in the area of the
deltoid.
(See Figure 11.)
Prep the site with distilled water only. Injections can be done utilizing the
appropriate needle and syringe. 1/2 cc of distilled water may be injected, however, we
recom-
mend
utilizing air as injectant since the distilled water cannot be drained, but must evaporate
from the arm. Synthetic blood must NEVER be used for injections.
