RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The impact of intraosseous (IO) access on resuscitation outcomes, as compared to intravenous (IV) administration, is subject to ongoing debate. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the methodological, reporting, and evidence quality of existing Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses (SRs/MAs) on IO use during resuscitation. METHODS: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted a strategic literature search to identify pertinent SRs/MAs published up until May 6th, 2023. After an extensive screening process, 4 SRs/MAs were included for review. We used the A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews-2 tool for assessing methodological quality, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist for evaluating reporting quality, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework for examining the quality of evidence. RESULTS: The assessment revealed high methodological quality across all the included SRs/MAs but showed significant variability in the quality of evidence. The studies offered conflicting findings on the impact of IO access on resuscitation outcomes such as return of spontaneous circulation, survival rates at hospital discharge, and favorable neurological outcomes. Some studies suggested an association of IO access with poorer outcomes, while others indicated no significant difference between IO and IV routes. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the perceived utility of IO access when IV access is unachievable, the impact of IO on survival, return of spontaneous circulation, and neurological outcomes remains ambiguous due to the inconsistency in the existing evidence. This review underscores the critical need for more rigorous and consistent primary research in this area to strengthen clinical guidelines and improve patient outcomes.

RESUMO

AIM: While intravenous (IV) vascular access for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation is standard, humeral-intraosseous (IO) access is commonly used, despite few supporting data. We investigated the association between IV vs. humeral-IO and outcomes. METHODS: We utilized BC Cardiac Arrest Registry data, including adult OHCA where the first-attempted intra-arrest vascular access route performed by advanced life support (ALS)-trained paramedics was IV or humeral-IO. We fit a propensity-score adjusted model with inverse probability treatment weighting to estimate the association between IV vs. humeral-IO routes and favorable neurological outcomes (CPC 1-2) and survival at hospital discharge. We repeated models within subgroups defined by initial cardiac rhythm. RESULTS: We included 2,112 cases; the first-attempted route was IV (n = 1,575) or humeral-IO (n = 537). Time intervals from ALS-paramedic on-scene arrival to vascular access (6.6 vs. 6.9 min) and epinephrine administration (9.0 vs. 9.3 min) were similar between IV and IO groups, respectively. Among IV and humeral-IO groups, 98 (6.2%) and 20 (3.7%) had favorable neurological outcomes. Compared to humeral-IO, an IV-first approach was associated with improved hospital-discharge favorable neurological outcomes (AOR 1.7; 95% CI 1.1-2.7) and survival (AOR 1.5; 95% CI 1.0-2.3). Among shockable rhythm cases, an IV-first approach was associated with improved favorable neurological outcomes (AOR 4.2; 95% CI 2.1-8.2), but not among non-shockable rhythm cases (AOR 0.73; 95% CI 0.39-1.4). CONCLUSION: An IV-first approach, compared to humeral-IO, for intra-arrest resuscitation was associated with an improved odds of favorable neurological outcomes and survival to hospital discharge. This association was seen among an initial shockable rhythm, but not non-shockable rhythm, subgroups.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Sternal intraosseous (IO) access has advantages over humeral and tibial access for fluid resuscitation in military medical settings due to superior flow rates and pharmacokinetics. However, the morphology of the young adult manubrial cortical and medullary bone as it relates to IO catheter tips of currently available FDA-approved IO access devices is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Computed tomography manubrium images of active duty service members (N = 93) aged 18 to 30 were assessed by radiologists, including manubrial height, width, and cortical thickness, as well as total thickness and medullary thickness at the thickest (superior) and thinnest (inferior) parts of the manubrium. Inference regarding medullary or cortical IO catheter tip placement rates were made for FAST1 (5.5 mm catheter depth) and TALON (4.5 mm catheter depth) sternal IO devices. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, non-parametric, and correlational statistics at P < 0.05. RESULTS: As inferred from case-specific CT-derived manubrium dimensions and maximal catheter tip penetration depths, both FAST1 and TALON would be placed in the target medullary space on 100% of opportunities if properly applied in the superior manubrium and on 99% of opportunities if properly applied in the inferior manubrium. Age was not significantly related to IO-relevant manubrial dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: Present findings suggest that both FAST1 and TALON sternal IO catheter tips can be successfully placed into the target medullary bone with high accuracy in male military members aged 18 to 30 who require rapid resuscitation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of intraosseous versus intravenous vascular access in the treatment of adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. DESIGN: Cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING: The VICTOR (Venous Injection Compared To intraOsseous injection during resuscitation of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest) trial involved emergency medical service agencies with all four advanced life support ambulance teams in Taipei City, Taiwan. The enrolment period spanned 6 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 and was temporarily suspended between 20 May 2021 and 31 July 2021 owing to the covid-19 pandemic. PARTICIPANTS: Adult (age 20-80 years) patients with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS: Biweekly randomised clusters of four participating advanced life support ambulance teams were assigned to insert either intravenous or intraosseous access. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation, sustained return of spontaneous circulation (≥2 hours), and survival with favourable neurological outcomes (cerebral performance category score ≤2) at hospital discharge. RESULTS: Among 1771 enrolled patients, 1732 (741 in the intraosseous group and 991 in the intravenous group) were included in the primary analysis (median age 65.0 years; 1234 (71.2%) men). In the intraosseous group, 79 (10.7%) patients were discharged alive, compared with 102 (10.3%) patients in the intravenous group (odds ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 0.76 to 1.42; P=0.81). The odds ratio of intraosseous versus intravenous access was 1.23 (0.89 to 1.69; P=0.21) for pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation, 0.92 (0.75 to 1.13; P=0.44) for sustained return of spontaneous circulation, and 1.17 (0.82 to 1.66; P=0.39) for survival with favourable neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Among adults with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, initial attempts to establish vascular access through the intraosseous route did not result in different outcomes compared with intravenous access in terms of the proportion of patients surviving to hospital discharge, pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation, sustained return of spontaneous circulation, and favourable neurological outcomes.

RESUMO

INTRO: Current guidelines for acute ischemic stroke recommend timely administration of intravascular thrombolytic therapy to promote functional and neurologic outcomes. Tenecteplase is an emerging off-label therapy for this indication and being utilized by various institutions due to its simpler administration strategy. In emergent situations in which intravenous access cannot be obtained, intraosseous access is a viable option for medication administration. However, there has been minimal published cases to support the efficacy and safety of intraosseous administration of tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke. CASE: We describe the case of a 51-year-old woman who developed acute ischemic stroke within our institution. Due to difficulty achieving intravenous access and time-dependent efficacy of thrombolytic therapy, the decision was made to administer tenecteplase by the intraosseous route. Stroke symptoms improved within 48 hours following administration without complication. CONCLUSION: Intraosseous administration of tenecteplase may be considered for treatment of acute ischemic stroke if intravenous access is unattainable.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis has significantly reduced the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in knee surgeries. However, for patients colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or those at risk of colonization, prophylaxis should include vancomycin. Intraosseous (IO) administration of vancomycin could enhance its effectiveness in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: a retrospective review was conducted, including 143 patients at risk of PJI scheduled for TKA who received IO vancomycin along with intravenous (IV) cefazolin, referred to as group I (GI), between May 2021 and December 2022. The occurrence of complications in the first three postoperative months was evaluated. Results were compared with 140 patients without risk factors who received standard IV prophylaxis, designated as group II (GII). RESULTS: in GI, 500 mg of IO vancomycin was administered, injected into the proximal tibia, in addition to standard IV prophylaxis. In GII, patients received only IV cefazolin. The incidence of complications was 1.64% in GI and 1.4% in GII. The PJI rate at 90 postoperative days was 0.69% in GI and 0.71% in GII. CONCLUSIONS: IO vancomycin administration, along with standard IV prophylaxis, provides a safe and effective alternative for patients at risk of MRSA colonization. This approach minimizes complications associated with IV vancomycin use and addresses logistical challenges of timely administration.


INTRODUCCIÓN: la profilaxis antibiótica intravenosa ha reducido significativamente la incidencia de infección articular periprotésica (IAP) en cirugías de rodilla. No obstante, para pacientes colonizados con Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina (SARM) o aquellos con riesgo de colonización, la profilaxis debe incluir vancomicina. La administración intraósea de vancomicina podría potenciar su efectividad en la artroplastía total de rodilla. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: se realizó una revisión retrospectiva que incluyó a 143 pacientes en riesgo de IAP programados para artroplastía total de rodilla que recibieron vancomicina intraósea junto a cefazolina intravenosa (IV), a quienes denominamos grupo I (GI), entre mayo de 2021 y diciembre de 2022. Se evaluó la aparición de complicaciones en los primeros tres meses postoperatorios. Los resultados se compararon con 140 pacientes sin factores de riesgo que recibieron profilaxis intravenosa estándar, denominados grupo II (GII). RESULTADOS: en el GI, se administraron 500 mg de vancomicina intraósea, inyectados en la tibia proximal, además de la profilaxis intravenosa estándar. En el GII, los pacientes recibieron sólo cefazolina intravenosa. La incidencia de complicaciones fue de 1.64% en el GI y de 1.4% en el GII. La tasa de IAP a los 90 días postoperatorios fue de 0.69% en el GI y de 0.71% en el GII. CONCLUSIONES: la administración de vancomicina intraósea, junto con la profilaxis intravenosa estándar, ofrece una alternativa segura y eficaz para pacientes con riesgo de colonización por SARM. Este enfoque minimiza las complicaciones asociadas con el uso intravenoso de vancomicina y soluciona los desafíos logísticos de la administración oportuna.

RESUMO

Introduction: The Spanish Emergency Medical Services, according to the model we know today, were formed during the 80s and 90s of the 20th century. The Health Emergency Service (EMS), 061 La Rioja, began to assist the population of La Rioja in November 1999. An essential part of the mission of the SES is the provision of care and the transfer of critical patients using advanced life support unit (ALSU) techniques. In daily practice, out-of-hospital emergency services are faced with situations in which they must deal with the care of serious or critically ill patients, in which the possibility of being able to channel peripheral vascular access as part of ALSU quickly may be difficult or impossible. In these cases, cannulation of intraosseous (IO) vascular access may be the key to early and adequate care. Aim: This study aimed to determine the incidence and epidemiology use of IO vascular access in SES 061 La Rioja during the year 2022. Matherial and methods: We performed observational retrospective cross-sectional studies conducted in 2022. It included a population of 4.364 possible patients as a total of interventions in the community of La Rioja in that year. Results: A total of 0.66% of patients showed a clinical situation that required the establishment of IO vascular access to enable out-of-hospital stabilization; this objective was achieved in 41.3%. A total of 26.1% of patients who presented with cardiorespiratory arrest (CA) were stabilized, while 100% presented with shock and severe trauma. Discussion: IO vascular access provides a suitable route for out-of-hospital stabilization of critically ill patients when peripheral vascular access is difficult or impossible.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Aseptic revisions are the most common reason for revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Previous literature reports early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates after aseptic rTKA to range from 3 to 9.4%. Intraosseous (IO) regional administration of vancomycin has previously been shown to produce high local tissue concentrations in primary and rTKA. However, no data exist on the effect of prophylactic IO vancomycin on early PJI rates in the setting of aseptic rTKA. The aim of this study was to determine the following: (1) what is the rate of early PJI during the first year after surgery in aseptic rTKA performed with IO vancomycin; and (2) how does this compare to previously published PJI rates after rTKA. METHODS: A consecutive series of 117 cases were included in this study who underwent rTKA between January 2016 and March 2022 by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained adult reconstruction surgeons and received IO vancomycin at the time of surgery in addition to standard intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis. Rates of PJI at 3 months, 1 year, and the final follow-up were evaluated and compared to prior literature. RESULTS: Follow-up at 3 months was available for 116 of the 117 rTKAs, with 1 lost to follow-up. The rate of PJI was 0% at 3 months postoperatively. Follow-up at 1 year was obtained for 113 of the 117 rTKAs, and the PJI rate remained 0%. The rate of PJI at the final follow-up of ≥ 1 year was 0.88% (95% confidence interval: -0.84 to 2.61). Previous literature reports PJI rates in aseptic rTKA to range from 3 to 9.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Dual prophylactic antibiotics with IO vancomycin in conjunction with intravenous cephalosporins or clindamycin were associated with a substantial reduction in early PJI compared to prior published literature. These data supplement the early evidence about the potential clinical benefits of IO vancomycin for infection prevention in high-risk cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The optimal vascular access for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains controversial. Increasing evidence supports intraosseous (IO) access due to faster medication administration and higher first-attempt success rates compared to intravenous (IV) access. However, the impact on patient outcomes has been inconclusive. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2022, included patients aged ≥18 years with non-traumatic OHCA resuscitated by emergency medical technician paramedics (EMT-Ps) with either IVs or IOs for final vascular access. The exclusion criteria were cardiac arrest en route to the hospital and resuscitation during the coronavirus pandemic (from May 1, 2022, to October 31, 2022). The primary and secondary outcomes were sustained ROSC (≥2 h) and cerebral performance category (CPC) 1-2, respectively. Univariate logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the primary analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was employed, with variables selected based on a p-value of <0.05 in the univariate analysis. The survival benefits of different insertion sites and subgroups like general ambulance teams (with a composition that includes fewer EMT-Ps and limited experience in using IO access) were also analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 2003 patients were enrolled; 1602 received IV access and 401 IO access. The median patient age was 70 years, and most were male (66.6%). Compared to patients receiving IV access, the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for primary and secondary outcomes in patients with IOs were 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-1.11; p = 0.20) and 0.96 (95% CI, 0.39-2.40; p = 0.93), respectively. Different insertion sites showed no outcome differences. In the subgroups of females and patients resuscitated by general ambulance teams, the aORs for sustained ROSC were 0.55 (95% CI, 0.33-0.92; p = 0.02) and 0.62 (95% CI, 0.41-0.94; p = 0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with OHCA resuscitated by EMT-Ps, IO access was comparable to IV access regarding patient outcomes. However, in females and patients resuscitated by general ambulance teams, IV access might be favorable.

RESUMO

Probably everyone who works in emergency medicine has been in the situation of having to insert a peripheral vein under time pressure in difficult venous conditions. So what do I do if I don't succeed? Establish a peripheral venous catheter? In recent years, the intraosseous approach has become increasingly popular as an alternative procedure. In this article, you will be guided step by step through the creation of an intraosseous access.

RESUMO

Cellular therapies provide promising options for inducing tolerance in transplantation of solid organs, bone marrow, and vascularized composite allografts. However, novel tolerance-inducing protocols remain limited, despite extensive research. We previously introduced and characterized a human multi-chimeric cell (HMCC) line, created through ex vivo fusion of human umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells derived from three unrelated donors. In this study, we assessed in vivo biodistribution and safety of HMCCs in the NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ NOD scid gamma (NSG) mouse model. Twenty-four NSG mice were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 6/group) and received intraosseous (IO.) or intravenous (IV.) injections of 0.6 × 106 donor UCB cells or fused HMCC: Group 1-UCB (IO.), Group 2-UCB (IV.), Group 3-HMCC (IO.), and Group 4-HMCC (IV.). Hematopoietic phenotype maintenance and presence of human leukocyte antigens (HLA), class I antigens, in the selected lymphoid and nonlymphoid organs were assessed by flow cytometry. Weekly evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessed HMCC safety. Comparative analysis of delivery routes revealed significant differences in HLA class I percentages for IO.: 1.83% ± 0.79%, versus IV. delivery: 0.04% ± 0.01%, P < 0.01, and hematopoietic stem cell marker percentages of CD3 (IO.: 1.41% ± 0.04%, vs. IV.: 0.07% ± 0.01%, P < 0.05) and CD4 (IO.: 2.74% ± 0.31%, vs. IV.: 0.59% ± 0.11%, P < 0.01). Biodistribution analysis after IO. delivery confirmed HMCC presence in lymphoid organs and negligible presence in nonlymphoid organs, except for lung (IO.: 0.19% ± 0.06%, vs. IV.: 6.33% ± 0.56%, P < 0.0001). No evidence of tumorigenesis was observed by MRI at 90 days following IO. and IV. administration of HMCC. This study confirmed biodistribution and safety of HMCC therapy in the NSG mouse model, both following IO. and IV. administration. However, IO. delivery route confirmed higher efficacy of engraftment and safety profile, introducing HMCCs as a novel cell-based therapeutic approach with promising clinical applications in solid organ, bone marrow, and vascularized composite allotransplantation transplantation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intraosseous (IO) administration of vancomycin at the time of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to be safer and more effective than intravenous (IV) administration at preventing early periprosthetic joint infection. Previous studies have relied on tourniquet inflation to enhance local tissue concentrations and mitigate systemic release. METHODS: A single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was performed on 20 patients (10 IV, 10 IO) undergoing primary TKA. The control (IV) group received weight-dosed vancomycin approximately 1 hour prior to the incision and weight-dosed cefazolin immediately prior to the incision. The interventional (IO) group received weight-dosed cefazolin immediately prior to the incision and 500 mg of vancomycin delivered via the IO technique at the time of the incision. Systemic samples for vancomycin levels were taken prior to the incision and at closure. During the procedure, tissue samples were taken from the distal femur, proximal tibia, and suprapatellar synovium. There were no differences in patient demographics or changes in serum creatinine from preoperative to postoperatively between groups. RESULTS: Significant differences in systemic vancomycin levels (ug/mL) were found at the start of the case (IV = 27.9 ± 4.9 versus IO = 0 ± 0, P = .0004) and at the end of the case (IV = 19.6 ± 2.6 versus IO = 7.8 ± 1.0, P = .001). No significant differences were seen in the average vancomycin concentration in the distal femur (IV = 61.0 ± 16.0 versus IO = 66.2 ± 12.3, P = .80), proximal tibia (IV = 52.8 ± 13.5 versus IO = 57.1 ± 17.0, P = .84), or suprapatellar synovial tissue (IV = 10.7 ± 5.3 versus IO = 9.0 ± 3.3, P = .80). There were no complications associated with vancomycin administration in either group. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the utility of IO vancomycin in tourniquetless TKA with similar local tissue and significantly lower systemic concentrations than IV administration. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 1 therapeutic randomized trial.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Intraosseous (IO) access is frequently utilized during the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Due to proximity to the heart and differential flow rates, the anatomical site of IO access may impact patient outcomes. Using a large dataset, we aimed to compare the outcomes of OHCA patients who received upper or lower extremity IO access during resuscitation. METHODS: The ESO Data Collaborative public use research datasets were used for this retrospective study. All adult (≥18 years of age) OHCA patients with successful IO access in an upper or lower extremity were evaluated for inclusion. Patients were excluded if they had intravenous (IV) access prior to IO access, or if they had a Do Not Resuscitate order documented. Our primary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Secondary outcomes included survival to discharge and survival to discharge to home. Mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, etiology, witnessed status, pre-first responder cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm, location [private/residential, public, or assisted living/institutional], and response time in addition to the primary airway management strategy (endotracheal intubation, supraglottic device, surgical airway, no advanced airway) were used to compare the outcomes of patients with upper extremity IO access to the outcomes of patients with lower extremity IO access. RESULTS: After application of exclusion criteria, 155,884 patients who received IO access during resuscitation remained (76% lower extremity, 24% upper extremity). Upper extremity IO access was associated with greater adjusted odds of ROSC (1.11 [1.08, 1.15]), and this finding was consistent across multiple patient subgroups. Secondary analyses suggested that upper extremity access was associated with increased survival to discharge (1.18 [1.00, 1.39]) and survival to discharge to home (1.23 [1.02, 1.48]) in comparison to lower extremity IO access. CONCLUSION: In this large prehospital dataset, upper extremity IO access was associated with a small increase in the odds of ROSC in comparison to lower extremity IO access. These data support the need for prospective investigation of the ideal IO access site during OHCA resuscitation.

RESUMO

This is part of a series of articles on vascular access in emergencies. The other two articles were on intra osseous lines and central venous lines. These are critical lifesaving emergency skills for the primary care professional. In this article, we will provide an overview of umbilical vein catheterisation highlighting its importance, the indications, contraindications, techniques, complications and nursing considerations. By familiarising healthcare providers with this procedure, we hope to enhance their knowledge and skills, ultimately leading to improved outcomes in the neonatal population.

RESUMO

According to trauma resuscitation guidelines, intraosseous (IO) access is appropriate when failure to gain intravenous (IV) access is present in trauma, burn, shock, or resuscitation settings for adults or when two failed attempts have been made in the resuscitation of a pediatric patient. However, their effectiveness and use have been debated due to concerns on flow rates, extravasation, compartment syndrome, and osteomyelitis. The objective of this review is to examine the current literature regarding intraosseous access in trauma resuscitation, focusing on interventions and complication rates.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In pediatric emergencies, as in case of shock, the use of intraosseous (IO) route is recommended to get rapid vascular access as soon as possible, as it revealed better outcome. Nevertheless, the IO approach is not used at all and/or is limited because of lack of demand and lack of training on the issue of medical staff. The aim of the study was to test applicable and/or demand of IO in clinics providing pediatric critical care services and assess the opportunities to integrate IO access use in emergency care in Georgia. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted, following a training of medical staff to perform IO access procedure. Our study involved 140 children admitted to emergency department, 114 of whom underwent venous access and 26 underwent IO access. Several parameters were monitored and reported. Outcomes were compared between the 2 procedures. RESULTS: Use of an IO catheter has significantly altered the clinical outcome of the patient's condition; 35% of the total number of patients needed to continue their treatment in the intensive care unit, whereas 65% of the patient's continued treatment in the various general wards (compared with 99% and 1%, respectively, in intravenous access patients). None of IO patients were transferred to other clinics because of the deterioration of their clinical condition. Complications in the form of local infection were not observed in any of the patients using the IO approach (which is interesting in terms of infection control). CONCLUSION: With proper training and in certain indications, the internationally approved method can be safely used in pediatric emergency management in Georgian and similar country health system contexts. Several urgent conditions with high rates of requiring hospitalization could benefit from the IO approach.

RESUMO

According to research, shock, the most common complication of extremely severe burns, is also the leading cause of mortality among patients with such burns. The case fatality rate reaches 83.45% when the total burn area exceeds 90%. The American Heart Association in 2020 recommended the intraosseous (IO) access after the peripheral access and prior to the central venous access when venous cannulation is either difficult or delayed. The use and experience with intraosseous infusion in extremely severe burns are still limited. We report efficacy and safety results from 19 burn patients treated with IO infusion between June 2020 and December 2022. In these patients, the mean injury time of burns was 1.55 ± 1.10 hours, the mean burn surface area was 86.24% ± 11.33%, the mean catheterization time was 49.68 ± 10.11 seconds, and the mean emergency retention time was 2.75 ± 1.74 hours, the mean actual fluid supplement amount was 5,533.68 ± 3,077.19 mL, the mean hourly urine volume of the patient was 93.31 ± 60.94 mL, the mean emergency detention time was 4.16 ± 2.97 hours, and the mean duration of hospitalization was 34.50 ± 25.38 days. The results demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement and higher response rate vs peripheral venous cannulation and an acceptable safety profile in those patients.

RESUMO

Purpose: Intraosseous (IO) catheters allow healthcare workers to rapidly administer fluids and medications to critically ill patients when intravenous access is inadequate or unable to be obtained. An improperly placed IO catheter can lead to delays in care, as well as serious complications such as limb necrosis. Methods: In this single-center, prospective, observational study, we compared 2 established methods of confirming proper IO catheter placement to a novel pressure waveform analysis technique in which the IO catheter is attached to a standard pressure transducer. Attaching a pressure transducer to a properly placed IO catheter produces a pulsatile waveform. Misplacement of the IO catheter produces a flatline waveform. Results: Of 42 IO catheters, 8 (19%) were incorrectly placed per the waveform analysis technique. Compared to the pressure waveform analysis technique, the standard method and the power Doppler method incorrectly classified 4/8 (50%) and 5/8 (62.5%) of the misplaced catheters, respectively. The standard method had a higher positive predictive value for detecting incorrectly placed IO catheters than the power Doppler method (100% vs 63%, respectively). Blinded reviewers demonstrated better agreement using the pressure waveform analysis technique than using power Doppler (k = 0.77 vs k = 0.58, respectively). Conclusion: The standard and power Doppler ultrasonography techniques identify incorrectly placed IO catheters sub-optimally. The pressure waveform analysis technique is more accurate than the standard of care and has superior interrater agreement compared to the ultrasound method of confirmation. With more than 500 000 IO catheters placed in the United States each year, this novel technique may improve overall IO safety. Trial Registration Number: NCT03908879.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic shock requires timely administration of blood products and resuscitative adjuncts through multiple access sites. Intraosseous (IO) devices offer an alternative to intravenous (IV) access as recommended by the massive hemorrhage, A-airway, R-respiratory, C-circulation, and H-hypothermia (MARCH) algorithm of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). However, venous injuries proximal to the site of IO access may complicate resuscitative attempts. Sternal IO access represents an alternative pioneered by military personnel. However, its effectiveness in patients with shock is supported by limited evidence. We conducted a pilot study of two sternal-IO devices to investigate the efficacy of sternal-IO access in civilian trauma care. METHODS: A retrospective review (October 2020 to June 2021) involving injured patients receiving either a TALON® or a FAST1® sternal-IO device was performed at a large urban quaternary academic medical center. Baseline demographics, injury characteristics, vascular access sites, blood products and medications administered, and outcomes were analyzed. The primary outcome was a successful sternal-IO attempt. RESULTS: Nine males with gunshot wounds transported to the hospital by police were included in this study. Eight patients were pulseless on arrival, and one became pulseless shortly thereafter. Seven (78%) sternal-IO placements were successful, including six TALON devices and one of the three FAST1 devices, as FAST1 placement required attention to Operator positioning following resuscitative thoracotomy. Three patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation, two proceeded to the operating room, but none survived to discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Sternal-IO access was successful in nearly 80% of attempts. The indications for sternal-IO placement among civilians require further evaluation compared with IV and extremity IO access.
