Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Intraosseous (IO) cannulation is an effective and reliable means of rapidly accessing the central circulation for the administration of fluids, medications, and blood products. The non-collapsible intramedullary venous sinuses offer great stability during states of profound vasoconstriction and circulatory failure, such as shock and cardiac arrest, when peripheral access is emergently needed but untenable.1,2 Highly vascular marrow spaces are capable of absorbing large volumes of fluids, medications, and blood products with rapid distribution to the rest of the body.3 The procedure can be safely performed with minimal training by pre-hospital providers as well as by staff skilled in pediatric hospital, emergency, or critical care medicine.4,5 Power-assisted devices for IO placement have made this procedure even more accessible to providers of all skill levels.6-8 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/10 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1146125466 ER -
