Most ACLS medications are given IV push.  But, what happens if we can't get an IV? When IV access isn't available, we should consider administering our IV medications via intraosseous (IO)or endotracheal tube (ETT) route. Why IO is better for than ETT as an alternative route. The locations we should place an IO when running a code and a location we should avoid. The ACLS medications that can be given intraosseous. Where you can find more information about intraosseous access during resuscitation efforts. In the absence of an IV or IO, some medications may be given down the endotracheal tube. The disadvantages of medication administration via ETT. Review of the medications that can be given down the tube and how they should be given. Medications should not be given down the tube when anything other than an endotracheal tube is used as an advanced airway.Connect with me:Website:  https://passacls.com@PassACLS on Twitter@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn
