Does intraosseous access improve 30-day survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests
Extract:
“Background: In cardiac arrests, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation and drug administration are time-sensitive interventions. Rapidly securing vascular access in those patients can be challenging, making intraosseous (IO) access a promising option to expedite drug delivery.
Objectives: This study assessed the impact of IO versus intravenous (IV) access on 30-day survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.”
