Intraosseous infusion is the process of injecting medication, fluids or blood products directly into the bone marrow, providing a non-collapsible entry point into the systemic venous system. Intraosseous infusions allow the administered medications and fluids to go directly into the vascular system, and the intraosseous route of fluid and medication administration is an alternative to the preferred intravenous route when the latter cannot be established promptly in emergency situations.
