Intraosseous access in the setting of pediatric critical care transport

Abstract: Intraosseous placement is frequently needed in the care of critically ill pediatric patients before they reach the pediatric intensive care unit. We have demonstrated that intraosseous needles can be placed safely with similar rates of success when comparing different provider groups. Emergency medical technician-paramedics, emergency medicine physicians, and pediatric critical care transport teams should be familiar with intraosseous placement.

“…Obtaining peripheral venous access can be challenging in infants and children during an emergency; intraosseous (IO) access can be quickly established with minimal complications by providers with varied levels of training.

“…IO access is a rapid, safe, effective, and acceptable route for vascular access in children, [172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179]181 and it is useful as the initial vascular access in cases of cardiac arrest (Class I, LOE C). All intravenous medications can be administered intraosseously, including epinephrine, adenosine, fluids, blood products, 182,183 and catecholamines.…”

“…One final recommendation was that community physicians should intervene with early vascular access, either by peripheral, IO, or central venous route, and administer aggressive fluid resuscitation until resolution of shock symptoms. Out-ofhospital pediatric cardiac arrests generally have poor outcomes, but it is known that children arriving to the emergency department asystolic fare worse (12)(13)(14). The ability to more rapidly deliver resuscitation fluids and medicines via the IO route could possibly improve outcomes in these patients.…”

“…It has been well described that early initiation and aggressive fluid resuscitation improve outcomes in sepsis (14). One final recommendation was that community physicians should intervene with early vascular access, either by peripheral, IO, or central venous route, and administer aggressive fluid resuscitation until resolution of shock symptoms.…”

“…20 Another pediatric critical care transport study noted a requirement of 1.2 intraosseous vascular attempts per patient, with a first attempt success rate of 78%. 21 Finally, the wearing of chemical warfare protective garments by rescuers has been shown to increase the requirement for second attempts at intraosseous access with the bone injection gun. 22 …”
