The technique is used when intravenous access is not available or when they are not possible and this is also a technique for vascular entry and are broadly applied for drug administration in adults and in children. The intraosseous devices are used majorly in trauma patients when intravenous access cannot be obtained. The places of insertion are sternum (FAST1), proximal and distal tibia and humerus EZ-IO. This devices are used for emergency recovery and are removed within 24 hours of insertion or after peripheral or central intravenous access has been achieved.
