Hi all,

I have a question about EDT:

do you perform direct cardiac fluid infusion, if peripheral venous access is difficult? "Roberts & Hedges Emergency Procedures" recommends an intra-atrial catheter, but recognizes several limitations, like procedural delay, possibility of further atrial injury and possible occlusion of atrial flow. Is it reasonable to access directly the ventricle?

Cheers,

Felix.
