Vascular Access and Intraosseus

Resumen breve

Rapid administration of epinephrine is an essential component of advanced life support during cardiac arrest. Peripheral intravenous (IV) access is commonly used for drug delivery, while intraosseous (IO) access is an alternative when IV access is not readily available. In addition, epinephrine may be administered using different drug presentations, such as ampoules or prefilled syringes, which may influence procedural workflow during resuscitation.
