A retrospective comparison of upper and lower extremity intraosseous access during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation

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.PMID:38416867 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2321285
