Effect of Intraosseous vs. Intravenous Lidocaine in a Cardiac, Hypovolemic Arrest Model

Hemorrhage is the number one cause of death both on and off the battlefield.However, establishing intravenous (IV) access may be challenging and very time-consuming, particularly for patients who are in hypovolemic shock, even for the most skilled clinician. For every minute of delay in resuscitation, there is a decrease of 9 percent in achieving ROSC. It is imperative that researchers find the most effective and fastest route in administering resuscitation drugs to achieve ROSC. This study will provide data-based evidence for the most effective and least amount of epinephrine to achieve ROSC.
