We can try three times then you go IO if unstable under Dr. order.
Our protocols are two attempts for stable patients. If they're critical, it's two attempts and then go for the IO.
Studies have showed that an IO hurts as much as an IV. It is the infusion of fluids that is painful. That is why the Lido is given prior to fluids.
This should cover ya!I really don't know much about IO...could some one either provide a link or explain the basics...
I got the part where it goes into the bone, but...where? how? is the dosing of medication different? can some meds not be used?
Thanks!

Rid,
When Vidacare came and did the training on the EZ-IO, They suggested using the prefilled lido and pushing the whole dose in the IO, before running fluids. I kinda like the diluting it in the liter of NS.
Now I ask how many services carry pressure infusers?

Rid,
I asked the Dr. doing the training the same question. He stated that it would not effect cardiac at all! I found that hard to believe.
Yes, we did carry pressure infusers.
