I really like the IO myself. I think its just one of those things every service should have, having access is very important, I couldn't imagine transporting anybody to the hospital without access that needed it.
Just because you don't have IV/IO access doesn't mean you can't give drugs. There are drugs that can be given IM, Subq, transdermal, sublingual, nebulized, and if your patient is intubated, there's another route for some specific drugs, too. Not the ideal choice of drug administration but it's possible!
