IO BLOOD SAMPLING
FLUIDS AND MEDICATIONS
FLUIDS AND MEDICATIONS
LABORATORY ANALYSIS/BLOOD SAMPLING
Virtually any fluid or medication that can be safely infused
via peripheral IV route may be safely infused through the
intraosseous (IO) route. Incompatible drugs and fluids
should be infused sequentially in a manner consistent with
standard IV infusion practice. However, if the choice is
made to infuse chemotherapy agents, it should be done
with extreme caution. Verify placement/patency prior to
all infusions. Use caution when infusing hypertonic
solutions, chemotherapeutic agents, or vesicant drugs.

Based on preclinical and clinical evidence comparing IO and
venous or arterial sources a number of common laboratory values
correlate well; other values show clinical similarity without
statistically significant correlation, therefore caution should be
exercised with their interpretation. Certain point of care
analysers have been studied with acceptable results. Check with
your laboratory for IO specimen processing capabilities. For more
information regarding IO lab analysis, refer to the Vidacare
publication Science and Fundamentals of Intraosseous Vascular
Access, available at: www.teleflex.com/ezioeducation.
The following recommendations have been developed based on
research done by Teleflex Incorporated. Study data was based on
IO blood specimens obtained prior to any infusions or flush.
The intraosseous (IO) space contains a matrix of blood vessels
and nerves. This structure provides rapid distribution of fluids
and medications, and also contains numerous sensory receptors
that register pressure variations. This pressure can be very
uncomfortable or painful for a responsive patient.
RECOMMENDED ANAESTHETIC FOR PATIENTS
RESPONSIVE TO PAIN:
• Observe recommended cautions/contraindications to using
2% preservative and epinephrine-free lidocaine
(intravenous lidocaine).
• Confirm lidocaine dose per institutional protocol.
• For adults, usual initial dose is 40 mg.
• For peadiatrics, usual initial dose is 0.5 mg/kg, not to exceed
40 mg.
• Prime extension set with lidocaine.
Note that the priming volume of the EZ-Connect extension
set is approximately 1.0 ml.
• Slowly infuse lidocaine over 120 seconds. Allow lidocaine
to dwell in IO space for 60 seconds.
• Flush with normal saline.
• Slowly administer an additional lidocaine dose (1/2 of initial
dose) IO over 60 seconds. Repeat PRN.
• Consider systemic pain control for patients not responding
to IO lidocaine.
Note: See back panel for additional information on the use of lidocaine
and other medications with the Arrow EZ-IO System.

•
Connect a syringe directly to the EZ-IO Catheter hub.
The first 2 ml of IO blood aspirate may be
discarded or considered for point of care testing.
Specimens must be identified as IO blood.
The use of any medication, including lidocaine, given IV or IO is the
responsibility of the treating physician, medical director or qualified
prescriber and not an official recommendation of Teleflex Incorporated
or its subsidiaries. Teleflex is not the manufacturer of lidocaine, and
the user should be familiar with the manufacturer’s instructions or
directions for use for all indications, side-effects, contraindications,
precautions and warnings of lidocaine. Teleflex disclaims all liability for
the use, application or interpretation of the use of this information in
the medical treatment of any patient. Dosing recommendations were
