[Use of the intraosseous infusion device in the resuscitation ambulances of the Paris fire brigade]

Abstract

In the Paris Fire Brigade, in the context of cardiac arrest, the nurses have the greatest reported experience of intraosseous infusion. The adverse events reported are rare, given that the procedure is performed on patients in absolute emergency. All these elements are in favour of discussing a redefinition of the practice of intraosseous infusion by nurses in the specific context of immediate life-saving emergencies.
