What does IV Io mean?
The intraosseous infusion technique is used to provide fluids and medication when intravenous access is not available or not feasible. Intraosseous infusions allow for the administered medications and fluids to go directly into the vascular system.
How is an IO inserted?
Insert the intraosseous needle Firmly hold the drill or the manual needle in your dominant hand. Position the needle tip at the point of insertion, perpendicular to the long axis of the bone. Point the needle slightly (10 to 15 degrees) away from the joint space and growth plate.
Can all IV drugs be given io?
All medications that can be given via central line can also be given via IO line. Blood can be drawn and sent for lab analysis just as with IV access. Although an IO line only has one lumen, there are multiple possible insertion sites, and multiple IO lines can be placed in the same patient simultaneously.
