La pose de voie veineuse pédiatrique par les équipes de Smur adultes

Abstract

Paediatric perfusion during pre-hospital care is a major issue in the event of life-threatening emergencies. Access, often restricted, to backup specialising in paediatrics, implies the existence of practices on protocols for the adult mobile emergency and intensive care service (Smur) in partnership with paediatricians. Paediatric perfusion practices were assessed in these teams. The results show the presence of a paediatric protocol in the adult Smur teams is not very common. Nursing practices seem to be evolving towards the recommendations, thanks to technological advances such as the use of the intraosseous device.
