Study Notes

Intraosseous (IO) infusion is a technique for administering fluids, blood, or medications into the proximal tibia, humeral head, or sternum through the non-collapsible vein-like IO space.
Common sites for IO infusion include the sternum, proximal humerus, proximal tibia, and distal tibia.
Equipment for IO insertion includes manually inserted IO needles, FAST devices for patients 12 years and older, EZ-IO for adults and children, and the Bone Injection Gun (B.I.G.) for the proximal tibia.
Complications of IO infusion can include long-term bone growth abnormalities, fractures, and pulmonary embolism if insertion is not done correctly.
Contraindications for IO infusion include having a functional IV line available, bone fractures, osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, bilateral knee replacements, or a prosthetic limb at the IO site.
