Questions and Answers

What is the recommended method for removing the loop mentioned in the text?

    Study Notes

    • The text discusses the use of three different types of needles for Intraosseous (IO) infusions: blue, yellow, and the driver.
    • The blue needle is best for the proximal tibia due to less adipose tissue.
    • The yellow needle is a 45mm, 15-gauge needle recommended for patients over 40kg and those with a proximal humerus insertion site.
    • The driver is used to insert the selected needle into the bone.
    • Before insertion, the site is cleaned with a sterile swab, and a loop and flush are connected to the needle.
    • The needle should not be flushed with air to prevent air embolisms.
    • Site identification is crucial, with the proximal humerus preferred for faster fluid flow and less pain, while the proximal tibia is suitable for cardiac arrest cases due to easier access.
    • To insert an IO into the proximal humerus, the patient's arm is positioned with the biceps tendon out of the way, and the surgical neck is palpated and marked one centimeter above.
    • The needle is inserted at a 90-degree angle to the skin, one centimeter above the surgical neck.
    • For the proximal tibia, the site is identified two centimeters below and over from the tibial tuberosity.
    • The needle is inserted at a 90-degree angle to the skin, two centimeters below and over the tibial tuberosity.
