Not such a B.I.G. success in the field?

December 21, 2009 Cliff

Success rates with the bone injection gun were 71% (10 out of 14) in children <16 years and 73% (19 out of 26) in adults. Less encouraging data than that seen with the EZ-IO device, and consistent with the experience of some other services.
