Summary
Intraosseous infusion offers a simple, safe, and rapid method for intravascular access in critically ill patients when traditional intravenous access fails. This technique is effective even for untrained personnel, especially in emergencies.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Critical Care
- Pediatric Critical Care
Background:
- Establishing intravenous access is challenging in critically ill patients, particularly those with circulatory collapse or infants.
- Central venous cannulation is invasive, time-consuming, and requires expertise.
- Alternative routes like intratracheal or rectal administration are not fully effective substitutes for intravascular access.
