  2. 11. Experimental Studies on Diagnostic and Therapeutic Aspects of Intraosseous Access

    Author : Gunnar Strandberg; Mats Eriksson; Stefan Lundin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infusions; Intraosseous; Sepsis; Point-of-care Systems; Blood Coagulation; Antibiotics; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Abstract : Reliable access to the circulation is paramount in most medical and surgical emergencies. When venous access cannot be expediently established, intraosseous (IO) access is indicated. This method has a high success rate even in relatively inexperienced hands and there is considerable clinical experience of IO administration of drugs and fluids. READ MORE

    Abstract : Patient safety has progressed in 15 years from being a relatively insignificant issue to a position high on the agenda for health care providers, managers and policymakers as well as the general public. Sweden has seen increased national, regional and local patient safety efforts since 2011 when a new patient safety law was introduced and a four-year financial incentive plan was launched to encourage county councils to carry out specified measures and meet certain patient safety related criteria.
