Intraosseous Access Stations: Amy Mills, Kelly Pulley, Sally Cascio
Ultrasound Stations: Sarah Polo, Gail Burdette
This course combines two courses, intraosseous and ultrasound vascular access allowing discussion about vascular access selection in the emergency department.
Key Concepts of Intraosseous Vascular Access and Ultrasound Vascular Access: Combined Course Stations
1. REPEVA US Vein Assessment
2. US Needle Techniques
3. EZ-IO Landmarking with live model
4. EZ-IO Hands-On
The Key Concepts of Intraosseous Vascular Access
This course is designed to provide the learner with knowledge regarding difficult vascular access and how intraosseous is an option that provides peripheral access with central venous catheter performance. This course reviews the safe and effective use of the Arrow® EZ-IO® System through hands-on simulation practice.
Key Course Learning Objectives:
1.Verbalize indications and contraindications of the Arrow® EZ-IO® Intraosseous Vascular Access System
2.List considerations for insertion site selection
3.Recognize insertion sites and landmarking techniques
4.Identify critical concepts for needle set selection
