Intraosseous Access | I can feel it in my bones You're Kidding, Right?

    • Medicine

Intraosseous access is a type of vascular access that you get through inserting the needle directly into the bone, aiming for the medullary cavity. You get IO access as an alternative to 
Intravenous access in situations where IV access is not practical or will take too long e.g. a shocked patient who is peripherally shut down. The bone is luckily a non collapsible option!
