Description

In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, time is life, and the race to restore circulation is on. But what's faster or better: intravenous (IV) or intraosseous (IO) access? A new study puts this long-standing debate to the test—and the results may surprise you.


In this episode, we break down the findings from nearly 1,500 cardiac arrest cases. Spoiler: the data suggests it's not how you get access that matters—it's that you start resuscitation fast. Tune in to find out why this could streamline emergency protocols and change how we approach prehospital care.
