Occurrences of Extravasation During Infusion	2 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During insertion of the intraosseous needle set

Population: This outcome measure was not reported for one participant, thus only 23 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure.

Operator's perceived stability of the sternal locator once placed on the subject. 1 to 5 scale was used with 1=Poor; 2=Fair; 3=Good; 4=Very good; 5=Excellent.

Adhesion Strips	3.83 Likert scale Standard Deviation 1.13

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during the 12 minute infusion time frame

Population: One participant experienced a prior extravasation and therefore did not receive the gravity flowrate infusion. Only 23 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure.

Measure the infusion flow rates attainable in the sternum when using intraosseous infusion of normal saline using a gravity infusion (no Pressure).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during the 12 minute infusion time frame

Population: One participant experienced a prior extravasation and therefore did not receive the 100 mmHG flowrate infusion. Only 23 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure.

Measure the infusion flow rates attainable in the sternum when using intraosseous infusion of normal saline using a 100 mmHg infusion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during the 12 minute infusion time frame

Population: Two participants experienced a prior extravasation and therefore did not receive the 200 mmHg flowrate infusion. For one participant the 200 mmHg flowrate infusion was not performed. Therefore only 21 participants were analyzed for this outcome measure.

Measure the infusion flow rates attainable in the sternum when using intraosseous infusion of normal saline using a 200 mmHg infusion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during the 12 minute infusion time frame

Population: Two subjects experienced a prior extravasation and therefore did not receive the 300 mmHg flowrate infusion. Thus only 22 subjects were analyzed for this outcome measure.
