Brief summary
The investigators sought to compare the intraosseous access success rates of the proximal tibia and the proximal humerus using new Intraosseous access device NIO in an adult cadaver model during simulated resuscitation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Success rate | 1 day | Success rate of IO cannulation was defined as successful administration of infusion solutions via the performed IO access. Failure was defined as extravasation or unsuccessful (first) effort of IO insertion. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| first location | 1 day | Participants were asked to record their first location access tibia or humerus |
| Time of IO insertion | 1 day | Procedure time was defined as the duration of picking up the prepared set of IO device from the shelf, preparation of the access set and patients' insertion site including disinfection and draping, insertion procedure of the cannula itself, assembling of the access set and first successful administration of drugs or infusion solutions through the newly established vascular access. The time taken for each infusion attempt was measured offline while reviewing procedures by videotape, and subsequently entered into a computer spreadsheet. Times were measured in seconds. |
| Ease-of-use | 1 day | ease-of-use of the NIO in tibia and humerus using a five-point Likert Scale (the device is easy to use; 1-strongly disagree, 2-disagree, 3-neither agree nor disagree, 4-agree, 5-strongly agree). |
