Background: Standard emergency department management of acute pancreatitis has focused on aggressive hydration, analgesia and investigation for an underlying reversible cause (eg gallstones).

EZIO essentially has a monopoly on intraosseous access, being used in almost all Emergency Departments and ambulance/pre-hospital systems around Australia and New Zealand.

TEG analyzes the interaction between platelets and the coagulation cascade. It provides highly descriptive, real-time information on clot formation, clot strength, platelet function, and fibrinolysis, which is superior to traditional coagulation tests such as INR, aPTT, and platelet count.
