Interventions
intraosseous vascular access in the proximal humerus
The arm receiving the Intraosseous (IO) needle is positioned with the arm abducted to shoulder level (in position required for surgery), with the arm rotated inward, into the optimal position, with the palms faced down. Deeply palpate the humerus until the junction of the humeral shaft and the humeral head, the surgical neck is identified; the insertion site is in the surgical neck. With the 45mm IO needle placed perpendicular to the plane of the skin, the IO needle is inserted into the surgical neck using a slightly superior angle of insertion and the needle is inserted to the hub. The stylet will be removed and a primed EZ-Connect will be attached to the catheter hub.
