Section of Critical Care Medicine
Texas Children’s Hospital
2. OBJECTIVES
By the end of this module, the learner will be able to:
– State the indication(s), contraindication(s) and
complications associated with EZ-IO placement
– Identify the components used in the insertion of an EZ-IO
– Distinguish the needle sets according to length and color
– Determine the appropriate needle set based on weight
and/or “5 mm mark”
– Describe, in their own words, the anatomical landmarks
used for each pediatric site of insertion
– Outline the steps in EZ-IO insertion

5. Indications
• Difficult vascular access in
emergent, urgent or
medically necessary cases
– Fluid resuscitation
– Medication administration,
etc.
Contraindications
• Fracture in target bone
• Infection at the area of
insertion
• Excessive tissue (i.e. severe
obesity) and/or absence of
adequate anatomical
landmarks
• IO catheter use in past 48 hrs
of the target bone
• Previous, significant
orthopedic procedure at the
site, prosthetic limb or joint

9. Needle Set Selection
• Just prior to insertion, you push the needle set (attached to
driver) through the skin until the needle tip touches bone.
• If 5 mm of the needle (i.e. at least one black line) is not visible
outside the skin then the needle is likely to short and the next
size up should be used.

Call (in no particular order):
• Matt Musick
• Fernando Stein AND/OR
• Paul Checchia
Pediatric sites of insertion:
• Proximal humerus
• Distal femur
• Proximal tibia
• Distal tibia
Aseptic technique (i.e. CHG
or povidone-iodine)
• Don’t forget to prime
(i.e. flush) EZ Connect
• Aspirate slightly
• FLUSH w/ 10 ml NS (adults)
or 2-5 ml (infant/child)
• Confirmatory
methods:
• Stable catheter in
bone
• Able to aspirate after
flush
• Adequate flow rate
• Secure w/EZ stabilizer once
placement is confirmed
