AB Intraosseous  (IO)  infusion  is  used  for  emergency  vascular  access  (fluids  and  medications)  when  other  access  methods  have  been  attempted  and  cannot  be  quickly  established  or  have  failed.  The  umbilical  vein  is  the  preferred  route  in  a  hospital  setting,  but  IO  access  can  be  considered  if  rapid  intravenous  access  is  essential  and  the  operator  is  not  experienced  in  umbilical  vein  catheter  (UVC)  placement.
