I thought IO was accessing bone marrow. which bone's marrow is this going into? Sternum? Also, I know that in the battlefield, I guess aseptic is not the most crucial thing but isn't this way too careless?

That was a training video for military members. BUT, that was the worst aseptic technique I have ever seen. He touched his nose and the floor a couple of times. That girl was one brave soldier because I know that IO's hurt. It would be different if this was a combat video and showed how in the field it's life over limb but they had her laying on a dirty floor and used terrible technique. I guess her saving grace was they actually had her take a dose of Cipro after it was all over. Crazy !!!

I would never let anyone stick anything in my sternum for volunteer purposes.

Wow.
