Product description

What are EZ-IO® infusion needles?

EZ-IO infusion needles are used for intraosseous infusion according to the EZ-IO system. Medication is administered directly into the bone marrow cavity. Intraosseous accesses provide access to the vascular system in just 10 seconds. They also have a very high success rate of 97 %. When choosing the right needles, you should pay attention to the right size. This depends on the patient's weight and tissue density.

Which EZ-IO® infusion needles do you use for which patients?

EZ-IO® infusion needles are available in three different sizes, each of which can be identified by a different colour and needle length.

  • for children (from 3 to 39 kg): The small (pink) needle with a length of 15 mm is suitable for children (body weight from 3 to 39 kg).
  • for adults (from 40 kg): The blue needle is 25 mm long and therefore ideal for adults (from 40 kg).
  • for overweight or muscular patients: The yellow, 45 mm long needle is the right choice for this patient group.

The diameter is 15 G for all three sizes.

Delivery note for sets: the needles and stabilisers may be supplied in a separate package.

Importance of intraosseous access in medical emergency situations

Intraosseous access plays a crucial role in medical emergency situations. It is an alternative access route that is used in situations where venous access is not possible or only possible with difficulty. This can be the case, for example, in patients with serious injuries or in critical conditions.

With the intraosseous access method, medication and fluids are injected directly into the bone marrow cavity. A special needle is inserted into the bone to enable an infusion. Access is usually gained via the tibia or femur, as these bones are easily accessible and robust.

Intraosseous access offers several advantages. Firstly, it enables fast and reliable administration of medication and fluids, as the bone marrow cavity is directly connected to the circulatory system. This is particularly important for quickly stabilising blood pressure in shock states or administering life-saving medication such as adrenaline.

In addition, intraosseous access is relatively simple and quick to establish. In an emergency, every second counts and it is often difficult to establish venous access. Intraosseous access offers a reliable alternative that can be used quickly.

Overall, intraosseous access is an indispensable tool in medical emergency situations. It enables quick and effective administration of medication and fluids and can be life-saving. It is important that medical personnel are familiar with this technique in order to be able to react appropriately in critical situations.

Advantages of using EZIO needles

The use of EZIO needles offers a variety of benefits and improvements for the medical field. EZIO needles are specialised needles used for intraosseous infusion to deliver drugs or fluids directly into the bone marrow. Compared to conventional intravenous accesses, EZIO needles offer several advantages.

Firstly, EZIO needles allow quick and easy access to the bone marrow, especially in emergency situations. This allows drugs to be administered quickly to treat life-threatening conditions. In addition, the use of EZIO needles requires less specialised training compared to other intraosseous methods. This allows for wider application and utilisation in the medical field.

Another advantage of using EZIO needles is the high absorption rate and efficiency. The bone marrow is a very vascular tissue and allows rapid absorption of drugs or fluids. This allows them to enter the bloodstream quickly and develop their therapeutic effect. This can be particularly life-saving for patients with limited venous access or difficult venipuncture.

In summary, EZIO needles offer a fast and effective way to deliver drugs or fluids directly into the bone marrow. Their ease of use, high absorption rate and wide range of applications make them a valuable tool in the medical field.

Quick and easy access to the proximal tibia

The intraosseous approach provides quick and easy access to the proximal tibia. To feel the puncture site, the clinician should locate the tibial crest by moving their fingers up along the medial side of the tibia until they feel a prominent ridge. This point is usually about 1 to 2 cm below the tibial tuberosity.

Once the puncture site has been located, the skin can be punctured with a sterile needle. This needle is used to penetrate the soft tissue and reach the intraosseous space. Once access is established, the EZ IO (intraosseous needle for easy access) is inserted and the trocar is withdrawn. This allows immediate access to the intraosseous space and fixation of the needle to the bone surface.

There are some important tips that should be followed when performing this method. Firstly, it is important to avoid the epiphyseal groove as a puncture can cause injury to the growth. It is advisable to place the access 1 cm below the tibial tuberosity to avoid the epiphyseal groove.

Another tip is to fixate the intraosseous needle to prevent it from slipping during application. This can be achieved by using adhesive bandages or other stabilising measures.

Overall, the intraosseous approach provides a fast and efficient route to the proximal tibia. The use of this method allows for rapid absorption of fluids and medications into the bloodstream, which can lead to rapid plasma concentrations. This is particularly important in emergency situations where time is of the essence.

Efficient administration of necessary medication

The efficient administration of necessary medication is crucial to ensure patients are treated quickly and correctly. In some cases, however, venous access can be difficult or even seem impossible. In such situations, intraosseous access can be an important alternative.

Intraosseous access allows drugs to be administered directly into the bone marrow space, enabling rapid absorption and distribution into the bloodstream. This access is particularly useful in difficult environmental conditions, such as in cramped ambulances or in outdoor emergency situations where venous access is difficult to establish.

In addition, intraosseous access offers advantages for certain patient-specific aspects. For example, it can make it easier to establish access in patients who are overweight, as there is no need to find veins. In patients with severe vascular damage, intraosseous access can also be an alternative for administering medication quickly and efficiently.

Overall, intraosseous access is a reliable alternative to venous access, especially under difficult environmental conditions or in certain patient groups. Efficient drug delivery is of utmost importance in order to treat patients quickly and appropriately and thus achieve the best treatment results.

Components of the EZIO needle set

The EZIO Needle Set is a medical device used to facilitate access to the bone marrow. It is an indispensable tool for emergency situations where rapid access to the bone marrow is required for the administration of medication or fluids. The set consists of several components, all of which help to ensure that access to the bone marrow is achieved as effectively and safely as possible. The needles are available in different sizes and are selected according to patient needs.

Step-by-step guide to needle insertion

The Intraosseous Infusion System enables fast and safe drug administration in emergency situations. To insert the needle, please follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. first you must select the appropriate needle. The choice depends on the patient's body weight and tissue density. A 15 mm needle is recommended for patients weighing less than 40 kg, while a 25 mm needle should be used for patients weighing more than 40 kg.

2 To insert the needle, first remove the protective cap. Make sure that the needle is not damaged and free from contamination.

3. find a suitable point on the bone to insert the needle. This point should be above the knee joint or below the elbow joint.

4. hold the needle with the tip pointing upwards and press it lightly against the bone. Slowly turn the needle clockwise while inserting it into the bone. Make sure that the needle is securely anchored in the bone.

5 Once the needle is correctly inserted, the intraosseous infusion system can be connected to administer medication quickly and safely.

In addition to the needle, the scope of delivery also includes instructions for correct placement and other required connecting parts. The intraosseous infusion system ensures fast and safe administration of medication, which is particularly important in emergency situations.

Advantages of using an intraosseous access

Intraosseous access is an alternative to the intravenous access method. By using intraosseous access, drugs and fluids can be quickly and effectively administered into the body when access via the veins is not possible. This access route makes it possible to get directly into the bone marrow and thus establish a direct connection to the bloodstream. This allows medications and fluids to circulate through the body more quickly, and faster results can be achieved in urgent situations. Intraosseous access also offers the advantage that it can be used for veins that are difficult to puncture or in shock conditions. The advantages of using an intraosseous access are therefore the rapid availability, the effective use of drugs and fluids and the possibility of establishing an intravenous access even in difficult situations. Overall, intraosseous access is an important method for providing the necessary care in emergency situations.

Intraosseous access (i.o.) - EZ-IO® | Rescue Service FactSheets

Intraosseous access (I.O.), also known as bone marrow aspiration, is a procedure used in emergency medical services for the rapid infusion of drugs and fluids when a peripheral venous catheter cannot be successfully placed. The EZ-IO® System is a specialised device designed for this type of access.

When performing intraosseous access, a needle is inserted into the bone using a special drilling mechanism. This is usually done on the tibia or humerus. The needle penetrates the hard outer skin of the bone and enters the bone marrow, where many blood vessels are located. The intraosseous access allows drugs and fluids to enter the bloodstream directly without having to wait for a venous catheter to be placed.

The EZ-IO® system offers several advantages over peripheral venous catheters. Firstly, intraosseous access is quicker and easier to achieve. The system enables fast and safe access to the bone marrow, which is particularly advantageous for patients with difficult venous access. In addition, the i.o. access is also possible for patients with circulatory problems or extreme volume deficiency, as it offers a reliable alternative for rapid fluid replacement.

In the emergency services, intraosseous access is an indispensable procedure for quickly performing life-saving measures in emergency situations. The EZ-IO® system enables simple and effective handling of the i.o. access. access and offers important advantages over peripheral venous catheters for use in emergency medicine.

Contraindications #

Contraindications for intraosseous puncture are absolute and relative contraindications. Absolute contraindications are situations in which intraosseous puncture should be avoided due to increased risk. Such a risk exists, for example, in the case of extravasation, i.e. the leakage of fluid or medication from the bone marrow into the surrounding tissue. There is a further risk in the case of compartment syndrome, which causes increased pressure development within a tissue compartment. In these cases, intraosseous puncture should be avoided in order to prevent further damage.

Relative contraindications for intraosseous puncture relate to diseases of the bone tissue. If the bone is already weakened or affected by osteoporosis or osteomyelitis, for example, the puncture could lead to further damage. Infections at the puncture site should also be avoided, as these could spread the infection further.

An intracardiac right-to-left shunt is also a relative contraindication. This is an anatomical connection between the sides of the heart, which are normally separated. This connection could allow medication to pass unintentionally from one side of the heart to the other.

It is important to be aware of these contraindications in order to minimise complications during intraosseous puncture. In certain cases, alternative methods should be available to allow drug administration or fluid delivery.

Puncture sites #

Choosing the right puncture site is a crucial factor in invasive procedures. Different puncture sites offer certain advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific requirements of the procedure in question. The exact placement of the puncture site depends on various factors such as the type of intervention, the expected tissue position and the individual anatomical conditions of the patient. In this section, the most important puncture sites for invasive procedures are discussed and their respective advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. Choosing the ideal puncture site requires careful consideration of these factors to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.

Proximal humerus #

Proximal humerus #

To treat the proximal humerus, the use of the EZ-IO® needle is recommended. The yellow needle with a length of 45 mm is ideal for adults and the proximal humerus. To ensure that the correct needle size is used, the needle tip should touch the bone and the top black mark (5 mm) should be visible. If the mark is not visible, the next larger needle must be selected.

Intraosseous access: The EZ IO in rescue operations

Intraosseous access with the EZ IO is an important method for quickly and effectively administering medication and fluids directly into the bone marrow cavity in emergencies. This technique is primarily used when intravenous access is not possible or would take too much time.

The puncture site for intraosseous access is selected on the proximal tibia or the upper part of the femur. To find the right location, the tibial tuberosity on the tibia and the greater trochanter on the femur can be felt. The needle is then inserted with a stable, even movement at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the bone surface and should ideally penetrate the medullary lumen.

To successfully place the intraosseous approach, the needle should be constantly rotated during advancement and the pressure should be controlled to avoid possible fracture of the bone. Once the needle is correctly positioned, fluids or medication can be injected directly into the bone marrow cavity.

Here are 10 practical tips for intraosseous access:

1. disinfect the skin before insertion.

2. insert the needle parallel to the bone surface.

3. perform a stable and even insertion movement

4. localise and mark the puncture site well.

5. if there is resistance, stop the puncture and turn the needle slightly.

6. check the pressure during advancement.

7. if the needle is misplaced, remove it in good time and reinsert it.

8. pay attention to features such as needle stability and markings to ensure correct placement.

9 Cover and secure the puncture site after access.

10. practise the intraosseous approach regularly in order to be able to act quickly in an emergency.

Intraosseous access with the EZ IO is an effective method for quickly administering medication and fluids in an emergency. By placing and using the needle correctly and following the practical tips, this technique can be used safely and successfully.
