Description : This book summarizes nearly a century of accumulated knowledge on therapeutic intraosseous (IO) access into a concise and well-written review. The emergent infusion of fluids and medications through the IO route can be lifesaving for patients experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and other life-threatening medical conditions. Unfortunately, many providers lack the anatomic, therapeutic, and procedural knowledge needed to deploy these devices safely and effectively in critically ill patients.
