AbstractNeonatal health care providers are fortunate that the umbilical cord generally provides easy intravenous (IV) access for newborn patients. Outside of the immediate newborn period, however, it may be impossible to obtain peripheral or umbilical IV access in critically ill newborns. Intraosseous (IO) infusion is not widely used in the neonatal population, but is a viable option when IV access cannot be established quickly. This article examines IO infusion devices and placement sites and addresses assessment and care of the infant receiving IO fluids and medications.
