The calcaneum as a site for intraosseous infusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraosseous infusion has been recommended as a rapid and effective form of circulatory access in the collapsed child. Recognised sites for insertion include the tibia, femur, iliac crest, sternum, and clavicle. The case of a 3 year old collapsed child is described who was successfully resuscitated with the use of an intraosseous needle placed in the calcaneum; the method of needle insertion is also detailed.

Induction of general anaesthesia with intraosseous injection of thiopental in rabbits
The technique of intraosseous (IO) infusion has been reemerged as an alternative route of intravascular access for the delivery of fluids and some medications. Complications of IO infusion occur rarely and include fractures and osteomyelitis after long-term use of IO access. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of induction of anaesthesia by a standard intravenous route and a...
متن کاملPRACTICAL PROBLEMS AND THE EFFICACY OF INTRAOSSEOUS INFUSION: SOLVING THE PROBLEMS BY EMPLOYING AN ANIMAL MODEL
In critically ill infants and children, intravascular (IV) access is sometimes very difficult. In such cases intraosseous (IO) infusion should be used as the method of choice. However, in practice, different problems are experienced with this procedure. To overcome the practical problems and to confirm the efficacy of IO infusion in reversing hypovolemic shock, an animal model was used by ...
متن کاملPreferred anatomic site for intraosseous infusion in Danish emergency departments
Background Intraosseous infusion (IOI) is recommended when intravenous access cannot be readily established in resuscitation. There has been debate as to whether which anatomic site should be preferred for IOI. Although success and flow rates in e.g. proximal tibia compared with proximal humerus are not significant different some stress that the tibia should be first choice for IOI because of e...
متن کاملA theoretical alternative intraosseous infusion site in severely hypovolemic children
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the venous system tends to collapse during hypovolemic shock. The use of the bone marrow space for infusions is an effective alternative, with the tibial insertion site being the norm. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to determine a quick intraosseous infusion method that could be an alternative to the tibial route in neonates during emergency situations....
متن کاملPrimary Intraosseous Carcinoma of the Maxilla
A primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a squamous cell carcinoma arising within the jawbone andshould be differentiated from a malignant ameloblastoma. It is not due to arising from an odontogenic cyst or tumor. The possibility of the lesion being a metastasis fromanotherprimary site should be considered, and excluded by a careful history and examination. The diagnosis of a PIOC is ra...
