Presentation Transcript

  1. EZ-IO in the Pediatric Patient

  2. This presentation is only for Pediatric specific IO site location and placement. For complete IO insertion education, please refer to the website www.vidacare.com T- 509

  3. Insertion sites Proximal Humerus Proximal Humerus Proximal Tibia Proximal Tibia Distal Tibia Distal Tibia T- 509

  4. Proximal tibia • 2 fingerbreadths below base of patella and 1 fingerbreadth medial T- 509

  5. Proximal tibia • Pinch the sides of the tibia bone between your fingers and isolate the proximal tibia T- 509

  6. Ability to locate accurate site on proximal tibia If TibialTuberosity cannot be palpated then find base of patella T- 509

  7. Ability to locate accurate site on distal tibia • Place one finger directly over the medial malleolus • Move 2 fingerbreadths proximal • Palpate anterior and posterior tibia borders to confirm the flat center aspect of the bone T- 509

  8. Proximal humerus • Should only be used in patients whose landmarks can clearly be identified surgical neck T- 509

  9. Ability to locate accurate site on proximal humerus Elbow should remain adducted & posteriorly located Place the hand over the umbilicus for humeral positioning and safety T- 509

  10. Ability to locate accurate site on proximal humerus • Use the thumb to palpate up the humerus until a notch/groove is felt • Insertion site is approximately 1 cm above the site. At the most prominent point T- 509

  11. Pediatric EZ-IO insertion sites T- 509 Proximal Tibia Proximal Humerus Distal Tibia

  12. STEP-by-step procedure T- 509

  13. Chose appropriate insertion site • Identify the site by palpation T- 509

  14. Primary Consider tissue depth PRIOR to bone insertion • Chose appropriate needle - 15, 25 or 45 mm • Special situations • Excessive soft tissue • Excessive muscle tissue • Edema T- 509

  15. Prime EZ-Connect with Saline • Consider Lidocaine* if awake • Clean insertion site with antiseptic • Place needle on driver • Remove needle safety cap T- 509

  16. Press needle set through skin until tip touches bone • At least 5 mm of the cathether must be visible T- 509

  17. Squeeze Driver trigger • Apply gentle, steady pressure • Immediately release trigger when sudden ”give” or ”pop” is felt - indicates entry into the medullary cavity • STOP WHEN YOU FEEL THE POP T- 509

  18. Remove Driver and stylet • Use of stabilizer is strongly recommended for pediatrics T- 509

  19. Attach primed EZ-Connect • Flush with normal saline NO FLUSH. NO FLOW. • For patients responsive to pain,consider administering 2% lidocaine prior to flush T- 509

  20. T- 509

  21. Confirm placement with at least 3 of 4 methods • Stability of catheter • Ability to aspirate • Physiological or pharmacologic changes • Adequate flow rate T- 509

  22. Apply EZ-IO wristband • Do not leave catheter inserted for more than 24 hours • NOTE!Monitor insertion site frequently for extravasation T- 509
