Tibia Access
The EZ-IO® product system was originally cleared for use on the proximal tibia access site, a large bone located in the lower part of the leg. Studies conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio have shown IO access through the tibia provides fast, stable, secure and effective vascular access equivalent to that achieved by IV. Additionally, recent multi-centre trials showed that drugs infused intraosseously through the tibia reached the central circulation in the same concentrations and at the same speeds as drugs administered intravenously.

First position the arm for maximum proximal humerus exposure. Adduct the patient’s humerus then posteriorly locate the elbow to the same "plane" as the spine. Next, place the patient’s hand on the patient’s abdomen – at or near the umbilicus.

This position will provide for a more prominent insertion site as well as ensure protection for the vital neurovascular structures located under the patient’s arm.
