Intraosseous infusion

An intraosseous infusion is a medical procedure that is used to inject medications or other fluids directly into bone tissue through a needle. This procedure can be useful in various cases, for example, in the treatment of bone diseases or for quickly introducing large amounts of drug into the body.

To carry out intraosseous infusion, there are several methods that are used depending on the specific situation. One method is called "open infusion," which means the doctor inserts a needle directly into a vessel that is deep in the bone. In some cases, this can cause bleeding due to damage to the vessel by the needle. To avoid this, your doctor may use another technique called a closed infusion. In this case, the needle is inserted into the bone next to the vessel, then closed with a special cap and the liquid is injected so that it only enters the bone marrow and does not enter the vessel. To make sure that the liquid gets only where it is needed, the doctor performs an x-ray after the procedure, which shows that the medicine is in the right place.
