  1. Intraosseous Vascular Access E-Learning Resource

  2. This package should be completed in conjunction with: • Knowledge of the Paediatric Surviving Sepsis Guideline • IO insertion skill stations (RCH simulation program & skills lab) Disclaimer: This learning package has been developed by The Royal Children's Hospital.

  3. Introduction This learning resource has five components: • Before you start - reflection activity • Read and Learn • Indications for insertion of an IO needle • Safe insertion of an IO needle • Risks and complications of IO needle insertion • Which drugs and fluids can be administered through an IO needle • Practical tips • Patient safety tips • Resource page should you want further information

  4. Before you start You are involved in the emergency resuscitation of a child who has presented with probable meningococcal sepsis. Two senior doctors are trying to get IV access (to administer antibiotics and volume) but have been unsuccessful and minutes are passing. Would you speak up and suggest an IO should be inserted? Are you confident to do the procedure?

  5. Indications for IO IO line placement should be considered in any emergency situation requiring administration of fluids or drugs where vascular access has not rapidly been obtained (2 attempts or >90 seconds)

  6. Indications for IO To gain emergency vascular access in • Cardiac Arrest • Deteriorating child • Hemodynamic instability • Respiratory compromise • Altered level of consciousness • Trauma

  7. Thousands of small veins lead from the medullary space to the central circulation

  8. Safe insertion of an IO needle Designed for 1000 human insertions Equipment: Non sterile gloves Alcohol swab or dressing pack with Chlorhexadine skin preparation EZ-IO driver and appropriate sized needle 5ml & 20ml syringe Infusion fluid

  9. Prepare Equipment EZ-IO Driver EZ-IO Needle EZ-Connect

  10. Prepare Equipment Length and color are the only differences between paediatric & adult needle sets

  11. IO access sites for pediatric patient Identify site

  12. Proximal Tibial Anatomy IO should be inserted 2 cm below tibial tuberosity (away from growth plate)

  13. Proximal Tibial Anatomy

  14. Safe insertion of an IO needle Universal precautions Clean skin at insertion site Choose appropriate sized needle Attach needle to driver (magnetic) Hold needle & driver at 90o to skin and push needle through skin until bone is felt (without engaging driver)

  15. Safe insertion of an IO needle • Engage EZ-IO driver to advance needle until there is a give / loss of resistance • Detach driver (magnetic) • Unscrew trochar • Attach 5 ml syringe and aspirate (Aspirate from marrow can be used to check glucose & provide blood cultures, notify lab of BM specimen if sending any other blood tests) • Flush to confirm correct position • Prime & attach EZ-IO connect

  16. Complications of IO - pain Minimal pain associated with insertion of EZ-IO fast insertion speed small insertion site vast majority of awake patients can tolerate insertion without local anesthetic. Infusion pain can be severe visceral in nature diffuse can evoke nausea

  17. Which drugs & fluids can be given All resuscitation drugs, fluids and blood products can be administered through an IO

  18. Practical Tips Due to resistance - fluids & drugs need to be PUSHED through an IO Patient Safety Tips IO access provides emergency vascular access. As soon as possible definitive venous access should be obtained & IO removed

  19. Resourcesfor additional reading Surviving Sepsis Campaign Surviving Sepsis – Special considerations in Paediatrics Insertion of Cooks IO needle (u-tube video) Insertion of EZ-IO in an adult (u-tube video)
