Intraosseous cannula placement site by patient age

Patient age	Intraosseous site
Infant (under 1 year)	Proximal tibia
Infant (under 1 year)	Distal femur
Child (1-12 years)	Proximal tibia*
Child (1-12 years)	Distal tibia or fibula
Skeletally immature adolescent^¶ (12-18 years)	Proximal tibia*
	Distal tibia or fibula
	Sternum^Δ
Over 18 years	Proximal tibia*
	Proximal humerus^◊
	Distal tibia or fibula
	Sternum^Δ

* Battery-powered or impact-driven devices are typically required to place an intraosseous cannula through the bony cortex of the proximal tibia in patients older than six years of age.
¶ Age at full skeletal maturity varies according to gender and individual patient characteristics.
Δ Sternal intraosseous cannula placement should only be attempted using devices specifically designed for that placement site.
◊ The proximal humerus site should only be used in skeletally mature patients.
