Medical students can easily acquire intraosseous cannulation skills

چکیده
Background In life-threatening emergencies with intravascular volume depletion, shock, or even cardiac arrest, obtaining conventional intravascular access can be difficult due to peripheral vascular shutdown. Intraosseous (IO) access is recommended during resuscitation when conventional intravenous access is difficult and is a fast and safe method for administration of fluids, blood products, and medications. However, lack of training in the procedure may be a reason why the use of the IO access is still limited in resuscitation. The goal of this study was to investigate if medical students can obtain competencies in IO access taught on a human cadaver course.
