Direct Assistance Request for Vascular Access Equipment EZ-IO®: The complete solution for immediate vascular access The EZ-IO® Intraosseous Infusion system is a complete solution for immediate vascular access in all patients larger than 3 kg. Used an estimated 160,000 times across the world the EZ-IO® is the leading choice for intraosseous access in all care environments from the ambulance to the hospital to battlefield and beyond, the EZ-IO® system is designed to help the medical professional gain vascular access in seconds to provide intravenous therapy to patients. EZ to use, EZ to train and EZ to maintain the EZ-IO® is the clear choice of intraosseous solution for medical professionals and the best method to gain immediate vascular access…when you need it most. IO Access in Emergency Medicine: • In emergency medical situations — when IV access is difficult or time consuming — EZ-IO® provides safe, simple, and rapid vascular access through the intraosseous space.
• Since time is especially critical in emergency settings, EZ-IO can be used to establish stable and secure vascular access in less than 10 seconds — for both alert and unconscious children and adults.
• Once established, the EZ-IO line remains stable during transport and can be used to deliver drugs, fluids, or blood products required in the patient’s treatment.
• IO access has now become the preferred method of establishing vascular access for patients experiencing cardiac arrest, major trauma or airway compromise, along with patients who have poor peripheral vasculature such as diabetics, dialysis patients, burn victims, IV drug users, obese patients, dehydrated patients, and others.
• Many EMS services and Hospitals are now using EZ-IO as their first line solution for vascular access in both adult and pediatric cardiac arrest victims, enabling administration of lifesaving drugs much earlier than previously possible with traditional peripheral IV placement. | |
EZ-IO Advantages: - Simple to use for both pediatrics and adults
- Establishment of vascular access in any patient in less than 10 seconds
- Stable and secure line for transport
- Drug delivery equivalent to a central line, even in CPR patients
- Relatively painless insertion, equivalent to placement of a peripheral IV without local anesthesia,
allowing for use in alert patients - Can deliver any drug, fluid, or blood products through the IO route
- Decreases scene time
- Average pain score upon insertion in alert adults with no local anesthesia is 2.5 on a 0–10 pain scale
- Pain is equivalent to a single stick with a 18–16 gauge peripheral IV due to the patented tip of the needle and speed of insertion
- Initial push after catheter placement of 20–40 mg of 2% Lidocaine in adults effectively blocks the pressure sensors in the intraosseous space
- Lidocaine dosage for alert pediatric patients is 0.5 mg/kg as a slow initial push
