Intraosseous Access
Welcome to Intraosseous Access.
This is a blended course, which consists of an eLearning and a face-to-face module. The eLearning is a pre-requisite for the practical 2 hour workshop which focuses on the application and assessment of the learning in a practical and simulated environment.
This eLearning module covers the theoretical components of performing intraosseous access utilising the EZ-IO® device. Local variations may occur and include, but are not limited to, practices relating to the types of equipment available and the local practice guidelines.
The module assessment is a quiz, which must be successfully passed in order to complete the module.
Important:
Before starting, ensure you have a set of headphones plugged in and have the volume set to a comfortable level.
