IV vs. IO: The Best Route to Survival in Cardiac Arrest?


Listen Later

This medical research paper examines the effectiveness of intraosseous-first versus intravenous-first vascular access strategies in patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study, conducted in the United Kingdom, involved a randomized trial with over 6,000 participants. The primary outcome of the study was 30-day survival, with other outcomes including return of spontaneous circulation and neurologic function. The researchers found no significant difference in 30-day survival between the two groups, suggesting that an intraosseous-first strategy does not improve outcomes compared to an intravenous-first strategy. The study also explored potential explanations for the observed lack of difference and discussed limitations of the study, including underpowering and the inability to blind participants to their treatment group.
