    PREPARATION:

    1. Locate the appropriate site: Proximal tibia site- located approximately 2 cm below the tibial tuberosity on the anteromedial aspect of the leg along the flat aspect of the tibia.
    2. Clean the site with an aseptic technique.
    3. Select the appropriate gauge needle:
      • < 1 year (appropriate gauge as per manufacturer) 18g.
      • > 1 year (appropriate gauge as per manufacturer) 16g.
    4. Stabilize the bone with the non-dominant hand-index finger and thumb on either side of the tibia. In addition, it may be required to place a towel roll or sheet under the knee to assist with stabilization.
    5. As a safety precaution, do not place your hand under the site to stabilize.

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Insert IO at 90 degrees through the skin.
    2. Direct caudally away from the epiphyseal plate, begin a twisting motion with medium pressure.
    3. Stop insertion once a loss of resistance is felt (tactile pop); this signifies the needle is within the marrow.
    4. Remove the stylet and twist down the stabilizer (if needed). The catheter should feel firmly seated in the bone (1st confirmation of proper placement).
    5. Attach the prefilled saline lock (optional) with a 10 ml syringe filled with saline to IO.
    6. Aspirate for bone marrow.
    7. If bone marrow is not aspirated, then attempt confirmation of intraosseous insertion by other means (flushes with no extravasation, IO needle at an appropriate depth, and inserted well into bone).
    8. Flush with 8-10 ml NS in a syringe
    9. Secure IO catheter in place.
    10. Connect the IV set with the pressure infuser.

Regional Paramedic Practice Standards

Certain approved programs in our area may publish additional guidance for the safety and quality of care of the patients who benefit from the program. Examples of these regional programs include stroke or trauma bypass and the Paramedics Providing Palliative Care program. The RPPEO partners with the groups who lead these initiatives to help inform their processes. The responsibility to monitor and update these standards rests with the organizations who lead these programs. For this reason, the RPPEO does not re-publish regional or local program documents.

The RPPEO publishes policies for paramedics to use in their clinical work and professional certifications. Our policies help paramedics understand what is expected in terms of process, timing, reporting, documentation and other rights and responsibilites.
