Use of intraosseous hypertonic saline in critically ill patients.
Journal of Vascular Access 2019 July
BACKGROUND: Rapid administration of hypertonic saline 23.4% is crucial in treatment of herniation syndromes. Hypertonic 23.4% saline must be administered via a central line. In cases where central line access is difficult to obtain and leads to delay in therapy, placement of intraosseous access can be lifesaving.
MAIN BODY: The purpose of this case series is to describe the use of intraosseous administration of 23.4% saline in critically ill patients and to assess feasibility.
CONCLUSION: Intraosseous administration of 23.4% saline in 6 adult patients with neurological emergencies was feasible and should be considered in cases where obtaining intravenous access is time consuming.
