Description
Summary:[...]this technique may significantly increase the procedure time, patients' discomfort, and potential for complications. Besides battery-powered IO infusion drills (EZIO), several semi-automatic spring devices (e.g., Bone Injection Gun [BIG] and New Intraosseous [NIO]) are available for IO access. [...]we evaluated only one aspect of a successful IO access establishment. The use of longer needles or alternate insertion sites is warranted in this population.Funding This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.Data statement The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, upon reasonable request.Source of support and sponsorship None.Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding Aeyal Raz reports receiving consultant fees and research support from Medtronic and consultant fees from Neuroindex (none related to this work).
