Abstract
AIM—To evaluate the use of intraosseous lines for rapid vascular access in primary resuscitation of preterm and full term neonates. METHODS—Thirty intraosseous lines were placed in 27 newborns, in whom conventional venous access had failed. RESULTS—All the neonates survived the resuscitation procedure, with no long term side effects. CONCLUSION—Intraosseous infusion is quick, safe, and effective in compromised neonates.
