Bone drill for IVs: faster lifeline in emergencies?

NCT ID NCT01235078

Summary

This study observed a faster method for getting IV access in emergency patients who need urgent fluids or drugs. It compared a device that places a needle into a leg or arm bone to the standard method of placing a deep central line in a large vein. Researchers wanted to see if the bone method got medicine into the patient's bloodstream more quickly.
