What was the problem with not able to infuse? Too much pain or no flow?

Andrew



I drilled a tibia which made him squeak a bit, but
what I was UNABLE to do was put anything through it. You are supposed to put
2 ml of lidocaine through to anaesthetise the medulla but no amount of
lidocaine made any difference (2ml at a time) rendering the IO useless.
