[Intra-osseous route. Administration route of drugs in cardiac arrest].

: We describe the case of a 6 month-old infant suffering from cardiac arrest and successfully resuscitated after epinephrine had been administered through the intraosseous route. During emergency care, vascular access is critical but may be very difficult in young children. Therefore intraosseous infusion appears to be a very efficient alternative for quick administration of drugs and fluids when vascular access is not easily obtained.
