A Study Evaluating Use of the Proximal Humerus Intraosseous Vascular Access Site for Anesthesia Patient Positioning
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating intraosseous vascular access in the proximal humerus and EZ-IO for Intraosseous Vascular Access. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This will be a prospective, non-controlled study using healthy adult volunteers as subjects receiving bilateral proximal humerus intraosseous (IO) vascular access to evaluate the insertion technique and IO infusion flow rates.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The arm receiving the Intraosseous (IO) needle is positioned with the arm abducted to shoulder level (in position required for surgery), with the arm rotated inward, into the optimal position, with the palms faced down. Deeply palpate the humerus until the junction of the humeral shaft and the humeral head, the surgical neck is identified; the insertion site is in the surgical neck. With the 45mm IO needle placed perpendicular to the plane of the skin, the IO needle is inserted into the surgical neck using a slightly superior angle of insertion and the needle is inserted to the hub. The stylet will be removed and a primed EZ-Connect will be attached to the catheter hub.
