The IO needle is positioned at a 90-degree angle to the injection site, and is advanced through manual traction, impact driven force, or ...
In emergency situations when peripheral access cannot be easily achieved, such as in arrest scenarios, intraosseous methods can be used to gain rapid access to the venous system. These methods usually involve inserting an access device into the tibia or femur bones in the legs, humerus in the upper arm, or sometimes the sternum in the chest.

This procedure has fallen out of favor with the development of safer techniques for central venous catheterization such as the Seldinger technique, the modified Seldinger technique, [1] [2] [3] intraosseous infusion, as well as the use of ultrasound guidance for placement of central venous catheters without using the cutdown technique.
