Abstract

Contents of workshop:

Evaluation of the literature relating to Intraosseous Access (IO).Indications & contraindications for IO access.Critical Appraisal of the benefits and limitations of IO access.Correct land marking for IO access sites.Evidence based recommendations for IO practice and care management.Practical demonstration of gaining IO access with simulation bones and IO equipment. Application of theory to a clinical simulation scenario involving a patient with difficult vascular access.An interactive quiz to facilitate discussion and learning relating to IO theory.

Participant involvement:

The workshop will involve attendees demonstrating practical application of gaining IO access with simulation bones & IO equipment. Demonstration and application of correct land marking for IO access. Application of pit crew CPR simulation for enabling an IO inserter to achieve access during a medical emergency. The workshop will involve attendees to reflect upon difficult vascular access patients and share their experiences within a supportive environment. An interactive case study relating to difficult vascular access and a quiz will facilitate discussion and reflection amongst the group.

Flow of workshop:

Visual power point slides evaluating the literature relating to IO theory. Critique of the benefits and limitations of IO access.Demonstration of land marking techniques.Pit Crew CPR simulation. Attendee’s undertaking practical application of IO simulation.Application of IO access to a clinical scenario.Interactive quiz, reflection and discussion.

Intended learning outcome:
