About

The video by Dr. Monica Kleinman explains how to place an intraosseous (IO) line in critically ill children. It describes the importance of IO access when veins are hard to find, especially during emergencies like shock or respiratory failure. The procedure involves using a needle or drill to access the bone marrow for quick medication delivery. It covers equipment needed, steps for placement, and possible complications like infection or fluid leakage. The video emphasizes that IO lines are temporary and should be replaced with more secure access within 24 hours once the child is stable.
