Observations in the EUV band have provided new insights into the interstellar medium. In the following I discuss two areas in which EUV observations are providing unique information: the ionization state of the ISM, and the pressure of the hot phase of the local interstellar medium and the bearing of this work on the McKee-Ostriker model of the ISM.
