Using Ares
To perform IV administration, learners will need:
• An empty IV bag with IV tubing connected
• Red food coloring (if you want to make simulated blood)
• A 20 gauge IV catheter
• Alcohol swab
• IV Dressing
• Extension tubing
• A full IV bag with distilled water (or red colored distilled water) with IV tubing connected.
• An IV pole
Practicing IV Administration Techniques
To prepare the IV site for aspiration and flashback, identify the ports that prime and drain the IV site
on the left side of the manikin. One tube will be for priming, the other for drainage.
The yellow tubing is for the Dorsum IV site, and the clear tubing is for the Antecubital IV site.
IV Tubing
To begin an IV drip:
1. Connect the end of the drain port tubing to the IV tubing and an empty IV bag.
2. Open the clamp on the IV tubing.
3. Fill an IV bag with water, or with water mixed with food coloring to simulate blood.
