Abstract
In a sample of 34 study subjects, Cook and Jamshidi intraosseous (IO) needles were compared for ease of insertion into turkey bones. The ave raged lapsed time of insertion was significantly shorter using the Jam shidi needle (25.5 v 56.2 seconds, P <.0001). The mean difficulty of i nsertion score was lower using the Jamshidi needle (3.0 v 7.1 on a 10- cm visual analog scale, P <.0001), The less costly Jamshidi needle is easier to use in IO insertion in this turkey bone model.
