i.o. Access: Professional solution for intraosseous access

The i.o. Access enables fast and reliable access within 10 seconds if intravenous access is not possible.

NAR BOA® Standard - 19 cm

Article length: 19 cm

The way the BOA® works is revolutionary. Since the introduction of constriction bands, the design has not fundamentally changed - until now with the BOA®. For optimised central venous access, the BOA® uses a rolling motion to direct venous blood into the distal veins while allowing arterial flow. (For maximum efficiency, the BOA® should be placed as high as possible on the limb) This technique dilates the veins, making IV access faster and more effective in even the most challenging patients.The ease of use of the BOA® is also revolutionary. The patented design features a quick-click connector and two-finger quick release for added efficiency. Medical staff no longer have to tie (and often retie) a constricting strap. The BOA® reduces deployment time when treating combat wounds, civilian trauma patients or medical patients with poor vascular access, such as diabetic wounds.

What is an intraosseous approach (i.o. approach)?

Intraosseous (i.o.) access is a rapid method of providing an alternative route for the infusion of fluids and medications in emergency situations where intravenous (i.v.) access is not possible or difficult.

A needle is inserted through the hard outer layer of a bone, usually in the sternum, tibia or humerus, into the bone marrow space (the intraosseous cavity). This space is rich in blood vessels and enables the rapid absorption of substances into the circulation.

Intraosseous access in emergency medicine

Under certain circumstances in emergency medicine, it may make sense to place an intraosseous access. Possible scenarios are:

If access is particularly time-critical, e.g. in combat situations.
If the wounded show symptoms of shock or are even unconscious, which makes finding a vein even more difficult.
If the battlefield conditions do not allow rapid intravenous access due to injuries or environmental conditions (e.g. darkness, bad weather)

Risks of an i.o. Access

In general, the use of an i.o. Access is generally safe. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be complications or potential risks. The training and experience of the medical staff is crucial. Possible complications when placing an I.O. Access:

Infection: As with any invasive procedure, there is a risk of infection, especially if asepsis (measures to eliminate pathogens) is not strictly adhered to.
Injury to the bone: There is a risk of fracture or damage to the bone into which the needle is inserted.
Extravasation: Medication or fluids can leak into the surrounding tissue if the needle is not placed correctly.
