Feedback to the field: an assessment of sternal intraosseous (IO) infusion Harcke HT; Crawley G; Ritter BA; Mazuchowski ELJ Spec Oper Med 2011[Win]; 11 (1): 23-26Intraosseous vascular infusion (IO) is a recognized alternative to peripheral intravenous infusion when access is inadequate. The sternum and proximal tibia are the preferred sites. A review of 98 cases at autopsy revealed successful sternal IO placement in 78 cases (80%). Assuming a worst case scenario for placement (pin mark and no tip in bone [17 cases] and tip present and not in the sternum [3 cases]), attempts were unsuccessful in 20 cases (20%). We draw no specific conclusions regarding sternal IO use, but hope that personnel placing these devices and those providing medical training can use the information.|*Military Personnel[MESH]|*Sternum[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infusions, Intraosseous/instrumentation/*methods[MESH]|Infusions, Intravenous[MESH] |
