  • These are old school... they have the new IO called EZ-IO.. works like a handheld drill...

  • EZ-IO is fine if you want to spend twice as much per use. We couldn't afford the $450.00 per truck just to get them in service. Then it's around $110.00 per needle. We have great success with BIG for 1/2 the cost. Plus No Batteries Needed .....

  • @flyingdoctor99 There has actually been NO reported cases of fracturing or micro-fracturing with the BIG. Several studies show that the BIG does NOT cause any fracturing. The FDA has no reports of fracturing as well...

  • @gijsyo the insertion of the needle isnt baout the same ain as getting a regular IV, but the infusion is what kills. 

  • I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor. But, can I ask in what situation someone has to receive a shot directly at the bone? :S

  • ... OOOOOOOUUUUUWWW!!! MY GOD!!!

  • is that a zombie O.o?

  • Can RNs do this?

  • We have BIG on the car and EZ IO in ER. Both do a great job. Besides the advantage of BIG (no batteries) I prefere the EZ IO. Better Handling and no small fractures (proofen when using BIG). And in severe burned people or CPR an intraosseos line is faster and easier to establish. I did not give any endotracheal medication since BIG was bought.

  • I prefer a proper IV line. In 15 years on the ambulance I have never had to resort to a marrow needle. We do have it on board, just as we have the "jet-pistol" for jet ventilation through emergency needle cricothyreoidotomy. Both might be useful for non-anaesthetists!

  • teehee! it tickles!
