Episode notes
Game Night Cardiac Arrest Stem
- The episode opens with a cardiac arrest stem involving a 45-year-old watching LeBron and JR Smith's game.
- The patient arrests with only a single, possibly blown, 20-gauge IV available, prompting IO discussion.
Pediatric IO Site And Landmarks
- In children under six years, place IOs at the proximal tibial plateau or distal femur for best access.
- Aim one to two finger-breadths below the tibial tubercle or 2–3 cm above the lateral condyle for accuracy.
Adult IO Site Options
- For adults, use the proximal tibia, distal tibia, or proximal humerus as primary IO sites.
- Use two finger-breadths below the tibial tuberosity for proximal tibia placement.
