Crashing patient, cannot get access -> consider a rapid IJ

Not always time to wait for an x-ray to -> Check your line placement at bedside

Always a good time to review IO’s ! Remember to not go through the bone

Yeah you can place them, but you better also know how to set up, flush, and trouble shoot A-lines
