Intravenous vs. intraosseous vascular access during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - protocol for a randomised clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

During cardiac arrest, current guidelines recommend attempting intravenous access first and to consider intraosseous access if intravenous access is unsuccessful or impossible. However, these recommendations are only based on very low-certainty evidence. Therefore, the "Intravenous vs Intraosseous Vascular Access During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest" (IVIO) trial aims to determine whether there is a difference in patient outcomes depending on the type of vascular access attempted during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This current article describes the clinical IVIO trial.

Methods

The IVIO trial is an investigator-initiated, randomised trial of intravenous vs. intraosseous vascular access during adult non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark. The in
