THE IOs HAVE IT: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF VASCULAR ACCESS SUCCESS RATES IN PATIENTS IN EXTREMIS USING VIDEO REVIEW

摘要

BackgroundQuick and successful vascular access in injured patients arriving in extremis is crucial to enable early resuscitation and rapid OR transport for definitive repair. We hypothesized that intraosseous (IO) access would be faster and have higher success rates than peripheral IVs (PIVs) or central venous catheters (CVCs).
