Peripheral venous access can often be difficult to obtain in infants and young children. Landmark articles in the 1940s showed that the intraosseous (IO) route was a viable one for resuscitation. While anecdotal reports and clinical experience suggest that blood products can be transfused via the IO route, it has not been specifically studied nor documented. We performed a prospective study to document the feasibility of red blood cell transfusion via the IO space. We studied the rapid infusion of 51Cr-labeled red blood cells via the IO space through an 18-gauge IO needle in three normovolemic immature swine. Serial central venous samples were removed at 30 seconds and at 1, 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes and analyzed for evidence of radiolabeling. Our results revealed rapid delivery of radiolabeled red blood cells into the central circulation with no evidence of early heomolysis. Highest counts were seen in samples taken at 30 seconds to 1 minute. We conclude that the IO route is a viable means for blood transfusion in a nonhemorrhagic model. |
