Abstract

AIM To evaluate the use of intraosseous lines for rapid vascular access in primary resuscitation of preterm and full term neonates.

METHODS Thirty intraosseous lines were placed in 27 newborns, in whom conventional venous access had failed.

RESULTS All the neonates survived the resuscitation procedure, with no long term side effects.

CONCLUSION Intraosseous infusion is quick, safe, and effective in compromised neonates.

  • intraosseous infusion lines
  • primary resuscitation
