I.O. - I.V. in the chest

It's called an intraosseous infusion. The same thing as getting an I.V. but it goes in your chest straight in to the bone marrow. Pretty sweet, eh? This is training i did for Army Infantry

@alaskanmedic there's no substitution for training like you practice in real world, except when it could cause harm to those learning. Why not defib a guy with a mere 5 or 10 joules just to train? Aseptic technique in training or the field is a must. Yes there are rare cases that you may be the only one there and need to hurry but those instances are rare. 1-2 seconds scrub of a chlorprep will save lives.

@mambeux fact is in a combat situation specially if u hafta to resort to a fast one aseptic technique is the last thing ur worrying about and also the last thing the soldier ur doing it to is indanger of

@armymedic98 He's talking about how the soldier's hands are sweating due to the natural epinephrine his body is producing from the "Adrenaline rush" he had from being brave enough to take a FAST1. Haha!

[mambeux]

Why the lack of aseptic technique? Drives me nuts. Gonna have a whole lot of sternal infections
