Intraosseous Access: Adult Proximal Tibia Site Identification/Insertion-Site Identification and Needle Insertion

Site Identification and Needle Insertion - Proximal Tibia

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides a demonstration of how to perform a procedure involving needle insertion near the patella. The recommended location is approximately three centimeters below the patella's inferior aspect and two centimeters medially. The appropriate needle choice depends on the patient's soft tissue depth. The video instructs to stabilize the needle hub, insert the needle until it reaches the bone while ensuring visibility of a five millimeter mark, and then advance it further by one or two centimeters. The needle should be positioned flush with the skin and perpendicular to the tibia's plane in most adults.
