    "Evidence Based Medicine" is the gold standard for infusion therapy as well as vascular access. This course will teach you about intraosseous (IO) devices on the market today. Evidence and scientific research has been collected for over a decade; and it is proving true that an IO device is a very effective infusion method. Healthcare providers will also learn about the different types of IO devices, insertion and removal steps, complications, contraindications, and much more.

    In early 2021, the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), recognized as the global authority in infusion therapy, released the updated Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. The INS sets the accepted standards for infusion therapy practice for all healthcare settings. This course is based on the current best practices as defined by the Infusion Nursing Society and other governing agencies such as the CDC, and FDA.
