IV remains the preferred route, with IO as backup. #EmergencyMedicine #CPR #CardiacArrest These 2 randomized clinical trials compared intraosseous (IO) vs. IV vascular access in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The first study (Denmark) found no significant difference in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), 30-day survival, or neurological outcomes between IO and IV access.&amp;nbsp; The second study (UK) showed slightly higher ROSC in the IV-first group but no survival advantage. Both studies suggest IV access should remain the first choice, with IO as a backup when IV is not feasible. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Dr. RR Baliga's 'Podkast for the Kurious Doc' http://www.MasterMedFacts.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/35216400/height/300/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="300" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/184387640
