A Prospective Comparison of SAM IO versus EZ-IO: Insertion Time and Usability During Simulated Vascular Access
In the largest ran-domized controlled trial to date, we found that the EZ-IO had a faster insertion time compared to the SAM IO, but the time difference was unlikely to be clinically meaningful. Although participant responses indicated a preference for the EZ-IO, most felt confident using the SAM IO in an EMS setting.
