Patients with severe TBI frequently undergo surgical procedures to remove clot or decompress the brain. Most of the time, they undergo a craniotomy, in which a bone flap is raised temporarily and then replaced at the end of the procedure. But in decompressive surgery, the bone flap cannot be replaced because doing so may increase intracranial pressure.

During cardiac arrest, every second matters (at least potentially). For out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in particular, intravenous access can be difficult to establish, delaying the administration of epinephrine and other drugs and possibly worsening outcomes. Intraosseous (IO) devices—inserted by punching a needle loaded on a trocar into the tibia or femur—can be placed more easily than IV catheters, leading to faster injection of epinephrine.
