    AbstractTwo examples of resuscitation of a scalded child by intraosseous infusion, following failed peripheral venous cannulation, are presented. The technique of intraosseous infusion is reviewed and it is concluded that this technique provides a valuable second-line technique for establishing emergency venous access in children. It is quick, reliable and enables the rapid infusion of intravenous fluids and drugs into the systemic venous system. Complications are rare but can be serious and close observation of the infusion site is advisable.
