Overview

Using intraosseous access for application of fluids and drugs is suitable not only in prehospital and emergency care, but also in major abdominal surgery in patients with occluded vascular access in the area of the superior vena cava. This case report describes the use of alternative vascular access for administration of fluids and drugs during orthotopic liver transplantation.

Keywords:
intraosseous access – liver transplantation – superior vena cava closure
