Intraosseous infusion (IOI) offers a crucial alternative vascular access route when intravenous methods fail in critical care. This review covers IOI history, technique, and applications, emphasizing its prehospital use.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Critical Care
  • Pediatric Resuscitation

Background:

  • Vascular access is essential for resuscitation in critically-ill patients.
  • Intravenous (IV) access can be challenging or impossible in emergencies.
  • Intraosseous infusion (IOI) provides a reliable alternative when IV access fails.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history, anatomy, technique, and clinical applications of intraosseous infusion (IOI).
  • To highlight the utility of IOI in both adult and pediatric resuscitation.
  • To emphasize the role of IOI in prehospital emergency care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of intraosseous infusion (IOI).
  • Analysis of historical data and anatomical considerations.

  • Examination of clinical case studies and application guidelines.

    • Main Results:

    • IOI is a well-established and effective method for rapid vascular access.
    • The procedure is relatively easy to perform across various patient populations.
    • IOI is recommended for resuscitation when IV access is not feasible.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraosseous infusion is a vital resuscitation technique for critically-ill patients.
    • IOI is a standard, recommended intervention for both adults and children.
    • The application of IOI extends to the prehospital setting, improving patient outcomes.
