"ER"

[KellyB]

Hey everybody, I'm pretty new to the site. I wanted to talk about last week's ER show, on Thursday night. Did anyone see it? Did you see that drill thing they used? What was that?

[medik8]

I faithfully watch ER...but I did NOT see last week's episode. Where did they use the "drill"? Just a stab in the dark...from the way you describe it...it could have been an IO drill for a line into the bone.... Like I said...did not see the show... :roll:

Yeah, it was via the IO route. I did some research actually, from when I posted my last comment . It was the EZ-IO by Vidacare. It's awesome. They used it in a pediatric patient and gained access within seconds. Have you heard of the EZ-IO before?

[medik8]

Yeah, I have. IO lines are great when you can't get another or need to get fluids moving quickly. It makes me a little squeamish...but it sure does work well. I figured that is what you were talking about. I couldn't think of too many uses for a "drill thing" :shock: unless we're talking lobotomy. LMAO. Or..placing orthopedic screws...

At any rate...yeah...it's a neat little deal.
