“Our models should serve as an IO training simulator for EMS physicians in order to practice the complex task of correctly placing an IO infusion needle in a newborn in emergency situations. The next steps in our feasibility study will be to expose our dummies on “real EMS-physicians” in a field study to test different material compositions and further identify requirements posed to an IO simulation trainer. Moreover, the simulators can serve as an application model for further modifications of intraosseous stylets and needles for newborn resuscitation.”
