Hello All!
Is anyone placing I/O access on adults in the inpatient setting? What device are you using?
We have a manual type needle on our crash carts. I have attempted placement twice and have never been able to insert it. The needle bends (!).
Is this a brand issue? User issue?
We have recieved training and I reviewed the manual. I anyone EVER able to manually place these on adults?
I am beginning to think we must have the drill-type placment.....or I need to hit the gym!
Thanks
Martha
I don't currently use the IO, but I trained on the Easy IO. It was slick and quick. I'd contact their rep if I was looking. The training I've been to was excelle

Hello Martha. I was trained on the BONE INJECTION GUN (BIG). It's very easy to use. I never had a chance to place one but was trained on the device. I'm including the link for you. Hit the video tab to see the demo.
