DiscussionIntraosseous line is easily achieved when peripheral intravenous lines cannot be placed in critically ill children less than five years of age. It has been in use for resuscitation since 1943 [4] and only recently has been recommended for resuscitations in neonates and preterms [3]. Due to the highly vascular marrow of the neonate, administration of resuscitative drugs, blood products crystalloids and vasopressors is done and the medullary cavity of the long bones serves as a non-collapsible vein from where rapid absorption takes place into the circulation. Blood from marrow aspiration can also be sent for initial laboratory investigation and cross matching. The preferred site of intraosseous line placement is the medial plate of proximal tibia, 0.5-1.0 cm distal to the tibial tuberosity. It cannot be placed in cases of fractured bones, overlying vascular injuries, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteopetrosis or repeated placement of lines in the same bone. If the technique is performed with careful asepsis, the complication rate in most studies is less than 2% and include osteomyelitis, skin infection, skin necrosis, subcutaneous abscess, fat embolism, fractures, compartment syndrome or leakage through the foramina of the nutrient vessels [5]. The technique is easy, but precaution should be taken to prevent damage to the epiphyseal plate with proper size and type of needle, which is ideally an intraosseous needle (Fig 2) or a Jamshidi needle for bone marrow aspiration. However, in case of non-availability, an 18 gauge disposable needle with an intravenous cannula stylet can be assembled and used in a peripheral setup [6]. The intraosseous route must remain a transitory vascular access and be replaced with intravenous line as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours [7]. During intraosseous infusion, patients have to be monitored with radiography and hourly measurement of leg circumference to determine whether the line is still in place. Intraosseous route has life saving abilities due to speed and ease of establishing emergency vascular access, as an alternate route during neonatal resuscitation [8].
