ResumoDespite relatively few documented complications associated with intraosseous (IO) vascular access, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restricts catheter dwell time to 24 hours for IO devices. This may contribute to placement of central venous catheters for difficult vascular access patients in whom an IO placement would otherwise suffice, contributing to an increased risk for complications and costs. Many clinicians have requested that the IO catheter dwell time be extended to at least 48 hours.
