The intraosseous infusion in prehospital emergency medicine

摘要

In emergency medicine, the intraosseous access has been established as an alternative to conventional intravenous access. Originally the use of intraosseous access limited to children up to 6 years of age and to adults for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These limitations had been revised and the indication for intraosseous access has been expanded. This article deals with the principles of this technique, the indication for intraosseous access as well as the conduction and possible complication of this technique.
