IVIO: Intravenous vs. Intraosseous Vascular Access During Out-of-Hospital
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The "Intravenous vs. Intraosseous Vascular Access During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IVIO)"-trial is an investigator-initiated, randomized, parallel group, patient and outcome assessor-blinded, superiority trial of intravenous vs. intraosseous vascular access during adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The intraosseous group will be further randomized to humeral vs. tibial access. The trial will be conducted in the Central Denmark Region. The primary outcome will be sustained return of spontaneous circulation, and 762 patients will be included. Key secondary outcomes include survival at 30 days and survival at 30 days with a favorable neurological outcome.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Intravenous The intervention will consist of attempts to successfully establish a peripheral intravenous access during the cardiac arrest. The prehospital clinician will be required to attempt the intervention a minimum of two times. |
Device: Intravenous
Needle placed in a vein.
|
Experimental: Intraosseous The intervention will consist of attempts to successfully establish an intraosseous access during the cardiac arrest. The prehospital clinician will be required to attempt the intervention a minimum of two times. |
Device: Intraosseous access
Needle placed in the bone marrow.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sustained return of spontaneous circulation [Before or after hospital arrival (up to 2 hours after the cardiac arrest)]
Palpable pulses or other signs of circulation without a need for chest compressions lasting at least 20 minutes
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Survival [30 days after the cardiac arrest]
- Favorable neurological outcome [30 days after the cardiac arrest]
Neurological outcome will be assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) which is a scale from 0 to 6 assessing neurological/functional outcomes after brain damage with higher scores indicating worse neurological/functional outcomes. The scale will will be dichotomized as favorable (mRS 0-3) vs. unfavorable (mRS 4-6).
