D. Ready for Use
Each time the bulb is squeezed, blood will be pumped through the wound site(s). Treatment for
arterial bleeding can now be demonstrated and practiced.
E. Draining System
Remove blue connector from the green arterial line. Hold arm over tray with pinch clamps open
and allow to drain into basin.
Place blue connector over a collection container and continue to squeeze bulb until all the
artificial blood has been removed from the tray. (See figure 1.)
SET UP PROCEDURE FOR VENOUS BLEEDING
A. Set Up Fluid Supply Bag
Close the pinch clamp on the fluid supply bag before
filling with artificial blood. (See figure 2.) Venous
pressure is altered by varying the height of the supply
bag. A height of 18" is sufficient for proper flow of
blood through the system. Fluid supply stands are sold
separately.
