Intraosseous (IO) access can be obtained using manual or drill-inserted devices for insertion of specialised needles; IO access uses the medullary space as a non collapsible entry point into the systemic venous system; IO access is useful when vascular access is difficult or likely to lead to delayed management in emergency situations; DESCRIPTION

For children, the preferred sites of IO are the distal tibia, proximal tibia, and distal femur. The distal end of the tibia is the preferred site because it is easy to access and the most reliable. Depending on the procedure, a variety of needles are used for IO.

2023年6月5日 · Intraosseous (IO) access is a fast and reliable route to give medications and infusions of any type. This activity reviews IO access, explains how to place an intraosseous device, and reviews how it can be used effectively by …

2023年1月5日 · Intraosseous vascular (IO) access is an established rapid, safe, and effective alternative for peripheral intravenous drug delivery. The AHA recommends IV as preferred site of access; however, if unable to obtain IV access, then IO access is acceptable.

System used to gain intraosseous access in adult and paediatric patients in a clinical emergency or when vascular access is difficult but needed urgently. IO access can be used to deliver ALL drugs including anaesthetic drugs, fluids and blood …

This topic will discuss intraosseous (IO) infusion in children and adults, including indications, contraindications, and techniques according to device. Other forms of venous access are discussed separately:

2023年8月20日 · Intraosseous access (IO access) involves inserting a catheter into the medullary space of a long bone, providing access to the systemic vasculature. Like intravenous access, IO medications can bypass first-pass metabolism and have maximum bioavailability.

2025年3月4日 · The intraosseous (IO) device is a life-saving tool used to provide rapid vascular access in emergency situations. It is a safe and effective technique for infusing medications, fluids, and blood products in critically-ill individuals who do not have a peripheral IV line.

Flush the IO catheter with 5–10 ml of normal saline. If patient develops signs indicating responsiveness to pain, refer to adult recommended anesthetic technique

Intraosseous cannulation is the placing of a sturdy needle through cortical bone and into the medullary cavity—to emergently infuse fluids and blood products into critically ill patients.
