How do I start an IO line?
Place the needle through the skin, perpendicular and down to the bone. Activate the IO drill or gun until the IO needle anchors in place, OR manually TWIST the needle clockwise (don’t push) with gentle firm pressure until the bone gives (loss of resistance technique) and the needle locks into place.
How do you flush an IO?
Assess the IO site for patency. If there is no evidence of complications such as infiltration/extravasation, perform a rapid syringe flush of normal saline into the catheter (5–10 ml adult, 2–5 ml infant/small child). This helps clear the intraosseous marrow and fibrin allowing for effective infusion rates.
