An observational study to determine the safety and effectiveness of Intraosseous (IO) vascular access for delivery of contrast dye for Computed Tomography (CT) examination. The hypothesis is that IO access can be safely and effectively used to deliver contrast medium for CT examination.
An observational study to determine the safety and effectiveness of Proximal Humerus Intraosseous (IO) vascular access for delivery of contrast medium for Computed Tomography (CT) examination. The hypothesis is that Proximal Humerus IO access in conjunction with a pressure-limited power injection device can be safely and effectively used to deliver contrast medium for CT examination.
