VidaCare's EZ-IO(tm) provides emergency medical technicians with a simple and rapid means to initiate intraosseous (IO) infusions. EZ-IO(tm) is a small battery-powered device that safely penetrates a patient's bone with a hollow drill to provide immediate IO access for any drug or fluid. In cases such as shock, trauma or cardiac arrest, patient's peripheral veins collapse making standard IV techniques difficult or impossible. Bone marrow (the intraosseous area) is actually a non-collapsible vein, through which drugs and other fluids can be administered. (Via PR Web)
