Until recent years there was no alternative for standard IV therapy in adults. Many patients in extreme situations or with extremely low blood pressures would have to wait for invasive central lines to be placed until their arrival at the hospital. No more! Intraossessous devices access the bone marrow that is connected to the entire circulatory system. This offers the treating paramedic incredibly fast access to non-collapsible vasculature. Vidacare's EZ-IO system provides us with several needle sizes to treat all patients, from pediatric through bariatric.
