Objective: To evaluate 2 sternal intraosseous access devices as alternatives to emergency intravenous access for dentists, using a manikin and a cadaver model.
Study Design: A group of 37 students performed a sternal intraosseous access on a manikin using a Vidacare kit including a puncture template and a prepuncture skin incision. Five months later, 9 of the students used the Vidacare and 8 used an Illinois needle (without template and incision) on adult human cadavers. India ink was injected as a tracer.
Results: Shorter times were recorded on cadavers compared with manikins in both systems. One Vidacare puncture ended subcutaneously. Two Illinois needle punctures perforated the sternum, one with intense mediastinal ink traces. Vidacare punctures took longer compared with Illinois needle punctures (medians, 32 vs 12 seconds; P = .0002).
Conclusions: Template use to identify the sternal puncture position, combined with additional prepuncture skin incision, may be more efficient and less predisposed to severe complications for dentists' emergency use.

Article Synopsis
- Sternal intraosseous (IO) access is preferred for military fluid resuscitation due to better flow rates compared to other methods.
- A study assessed the manubrial bone structure of young adult military members using CT scans, focusing on dimensions relevant to IO catheter placement.
- Results indicated that both the FAST1 and TALON IO devices would accurately reach the target medullary bone in almost all cases when properly applied in the manubrium.
The relationship between intraosseous catheter tip placement, flow rates, and infusion pressures in a high bone density cadaveric swine () model.

Background: Intraosseous (IO) infusion is a life-preserving technique when intravenous access is unobtainable. Successful IO infusion requires sufficiently high flow rates to preserve life but at low enough pressures to avoid complications. However, IO catheter tips are often misplaced, and the relative flow rates and pressures between IO catheter tips placed in medullary, trabecular, and cortical bone are not well described, which has important implications for clinical practice.

- - The study explores the use of sternal intraosseous devices as an alternative for blood product access in patients experiencing hemorrhagic shock, guided by the MARCH protocol from Tactical Combat Casualty Care.
- - A retrospective review was conducted on nine male trauma patients with gunshot wounds, focusing on the success rate and outcomes of using either the TALON® or FAST1® sternal-IO devices.
- - Results showed a successful placement in 78% of cases, but despite some patients achieving return of spontaneous circulation, none survived to discharge, highlighting the need for further research on the civilian application of sternal-IO access.

Article Synopsis
- Primary intraosseous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PIACC) is a rare type of jaw cancer, with only 51 documented cases in English literature.
- A 70-year-old woman exhibited symptoms including paresthesia in her chin and underwent radiographic imaging, which showed an abnormal area in the jaw, leading to a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis.
- Despite undergoing chemotherapy, her condition worsened with the presence of multiple bone metastases; hence, she received supportive care for an additional three years.
