No veins and circling the drain? Have no fear, a new, improved IO is here.
Use the trusty powerdriver to insert that bad boy right into your leg bone, or even better, your arm bone. Great little tool and just seconds until Grandma has a pathway to her brain and heart.
It will take the RN longer to flush the IV tubing then it does to put one of these little lifesavers in your leg.

Ouch! Oh my God! I can't believe he is awake during the insertion!
Does it have the landmarks on the machine? Or can you just point it anywhere for it to work? I love it The feel of pushing the IO into bone gives me the chills
Technically point anywhere, but the sites are still either proximal tibia or humerus.
Well said.
