Session Overview
During this hands-on educational activity, learners will review the steps for preparing patients for a bone marrow aspiration/biopsy procedure. They will also become familiar with the equipment required for performing the procedure. Using simulation models, learners will practice performing a bone marrow aspiration/biopsy procedure.

Learning Objectives

2. Determine the indications and contraindication for bone marrow aspiration or core biopsy

3. Describe how to anesthetize the patient's skin, subcutaneous tissue and periosteum in advance of the procedure

4. Employ the proper technique for performing bone marrow aspiration and core biopsy via simulation using a manual approach and a powered system
