Temporising extradural haematoma by craniostomy using an intraosseous needle

Harry Bulstrode et al. Injury. 2017 May.

Abstract

We report a novel application of intraosseous needle drainage, alleviating raised intracranial pressure due to extradural haematoma. The potential application of this technique in preventing secondary brain injury and herniation during transfer to a neurosurgical unit is discussed.

Keywords: Extradural; Head injury; Intraosseous needle.
