Nursing Care Regarding Post Intraosseous Access Insertion in Critical Care Units

Abstract

Interosseous (IO) access is an effective route for fluid resuscitation, drug delivery and laboratory evaluation that may be attained in all age groups and has an acceptable safety profile. As advances in resuscitation have been made, the need for rapid vascular access for victim who has collapsed has been highlighted. The intraosseous route has become the route of choice when the victim has no other central access already in a clinical emergency situation. The Intraosseous route (IO) can be used for both child and adult patients and is indicated any time vascular access is difficult to obtain in emergency, urgent or other medically necessary cases as cardiopulmonary arrest, peripheral vascular collapse, Shock, major trauma, burns and impaired vascular access by obesity, edema, status asthmatics. Significant of the study Intraosseous access can be achieved quickly and effectively in a variety of clinical settings. Found that a 5-min success rate of 100% for intraosseous insertion versus just 67% success for peripheral intravenous catheter
