This study tested whether a battery-powered bone marrow biopsy device (OnControl) causes less pain and takes less time than the traditional manual needle. Fifty adults who needed a bone marrow biopsy were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers measured pain leve…

This study tested a powered bone marrow aspiration device against the standard manual device in 15 healthy adults. Each volunteer received both procedures on opposite sides of the pelvis. Researchers measured pain, time to get a sample, and the quality of the bone marrow specimen…

This study tested a new method for finding the correct spot in the upper arm to place an emergency IV (intraosseous access). Fifteen healthy volunteers and trained medical staff participated. The goal was to see if the new technique improves accuracy and speed of insertion.

This study compared four methods for finding the correct spot in the shoulder to place an intraosseous (bone) IV, used in emergencies when regular IV access is not possible. Sixty clinicians with no prior training on this specific site tested one method each. The goal was to see …

This study tested a method of giving fluids through a needle placed in the upper arm bone (proximal humerus) in 5 healthy adults. The goal was to see how fast fluids could flow and whether lab tests from the bone matched those from a vein. The study was small and did not involve …

This study tested whether a powered bone marrow biopsy device works better than the standard manual tool in children aged 2 to 18. The goal was to see if the powered device could collect larger and better-quality bone marrow samples. The study involved 44 children and compared th…

This study tested a device that allows doctors to give fluids and medicines directly into the breastbone during emergencies. It involved 24 healthy adults and looked at how well the device worked and if it caused any leakage. The goal was to see if this method is a safe and relia…

This study tested a device called EZ-IO that delivers fluids and medicines through the bone marrow in emergencies. Researchers compared it to standard central line placement in 105 patients needing urgent access. The goal was to see if the bone method is faster and has fewer comp…
