Intraosseous infusion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intraosseous infusion is the process of injection directly into the marrow of the bone. The needle is injected through the bone's hard cortex and into the soft marrow interior.
This route of fluid and medication administration is an alternate one to the preferred IV route when the latter can't be established in a timely manner especially during cardiac arrest.[1]

In 2005, the American Heart Association first included intraosseous infusion as an option for delivery of resuscitation drugs, "If IV access cannot be established, intraosseous (IO) delivery of resuscitation drugs will achieve adequate plasma concentrations".[2]
This American Heart Association guideline cited two randomized controlled trials, one of 60 children[3] and one of electively cannulated hematology/oncology patients.[4] In addition, uncontrolled studies have been performed[5][6], one of which reported 72% to 87% rates of successful insertion.[5]
