ICU Medical Plum 360 Infusion Pump — Instructional Use

Build the Infusion Around the Veterinary Patient – Not the Pump

The ICU Medical Plum 360 can become part of a veterinary case without becoming the entire lesson. Give learners a patient weight, fluid plan, and simulated therapy, then let them determine the calculations, setup, and programming needed to carry that plan through to the pump. As the scenario progresses, the infusion plan can change with it. A secondary therapy may be added, a rate may need adjustment, or an existing infusion may need to be reassessed as new patient information appears. Learners have to keep track of what is running and why while continuing to follow the simulated animal’s condition. This approach makes the Plum 360 useful across veterinary anesthesia, hospitalization, emergency, and critical-care scenarios. It connects infusion equipment with the calculations, organization, reassessment, and clinical reasoning that surround IV therapy rather than reducing pump training to button-by-button instruction.
