Brief summary

A prospective study to determine the safety of intraosseous (IO) access for a period up to 48 hours in healthy adult volunteers and volunteers with a history of mild to moderate renal disease and/or controlled diabetes.

Detailed description

A prospective, study to determine the safety of intraosseous (IO) access for a period up to 48 hours, in healthy adult volunteers and volunteers with a history of being health-compromised, including patients with mild to moderate renal disease (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Stage 1 to 3) and/or patients with controlled diabetes. Subjects will be randomized to receive IO access in the proximal tibia insertion site or the proximal humerus insertion site using the EZ-IO intraosseous vascular access system. The hypothesis is that there will be no serious complications for the subjects during a 48 hour IO catheter dwell time in either place.

Recruitment details

November 2014 - January 2016: subjects with controlled diabetes and/or mild renal disease only were enrolled. January 2016 - July 2016: healthy subjects and subjects with controlled diabetes and/or mild renal disease were enrolled. Amendment for healthy subjects approved by FDA in advance of implementation.

Outcome results

Primary

Serious Complications From Intraosseous (IO) Access

Presence of serious complications from 48 hour intraosseous (IO) vascular access using EZ-IO.

Time frame: 48 hours

Population: Evaluable subjects included in primary endpoint analysis. Non-evaluable subjects, defined by protocol as subjects who withdrew consent or were discontinued from the study for non-compliance or unwillingness to comply with study requirements before completing Day 3 procedures (48 hour dwell time), were replaced. There were 6 non-evaluable subjects.
