Variables Affecting the Use of the Intraosseous Infusion During Pediatric Resuscitation.

Abstract

Intraosseous Infusion (IOI) provides an alternate means of intravascular access during pediatric resuscitation and has been advocated by many professional healthcare organizations. Nonetheless, use of IOI, especially by emergency nurses, appears to be limited. The purpose of this study was to identify variables affecting the use of IOI by emergency nurses during pediatric resuscitation. A self-administered survey was mailed to a randomized sample of 500 members of the Emergency Nurses Association. The response rate was 48.2% (N=241). The study revealed a widespread awareness of 101 among emergency nurses: 69.2% (N=166) of the respondents had assisted with or performed IOI. Of those nurses who had never used IOI, 55.4% had been trained in the procedure. Only 10.8% of the sample had no IOI training or experience.
