Intramuscular injections alone

To begin with, the most common are intramuscular injections. Even small children, playing doctor, make puppies prick in the ass. And adults, such a question as intramuscular injections in the buttocks, should not be at a dead end.

Personally, I do not remember when I was injected for the first time, but my mother is a doctor-therapist. All the inhabitants of our entrance constantly ran to her for help. In particular, she often had to take on the role of a nurse and make intramuscular injections.

I remember very well how my mother did intramuscular injections in the thigh of our neighbor on the landing, the boy Gena.

I went to him to play, but when my mother came, he immediately hid under the bed. For this reason, the injections assigned to him were made into the thigh. Gennady was very afraid and categorically refused to turn his back to the syringe. But in order to make intramuscular injections to the thigh, Gena's parents had to keep him together. He cried and wriggled, but as far as I remember, everything ended well.

Well, it's possible that your doctor does not live at your entrance and it's okay if you have to become a home nurse or nurse. I myself studied at a medical school, my parents doctors and injections I can do professionally. At the same time I think that, at least, anyone can do the normal intramuscular injection. My wife is not a doctor, but if necessary she will perform such a procedure easily and at ease.

Just like I taught my wife and grown-up children, I can teach you, can not I? I'm sure that if you need to make such an injection, then you will succeed.

As already mentioned, medications are most often administered intramuscularly. Immediately need to remember that the injection is not performed in any part of the buttock, but only in the upper outer part of it. This part is called the upper outer quadrant. Doing intramuscular injections in the right place, you do not fall into the bone or nerve, and the drug there is quickly absorbed.

Technique of execution

Preliminary preparation

• We expose the ampoule with the preparation to the external analysis: we look at the name, expiration date, quantity.
• Shake the ampoule, dropping the contents down.
• A special nail file, which is present in the package with the medicine, we make a nail file.
• Wiping the ampoule with cotton wool soaked in medical alcohol, break off the end.
• Having lowered the needle into the ampoule, use the piston to take the drug into the syringe.
• Gently pressing on the piston, tapping your finger on the syringe, get rid of air bubbles.

How to inject

• The patient lies on his back, relaxing the buttocks.
• Moistened with alcohol wool we wipe the upper outer quadrant, the alleged site of the injection.
• Another, moistened in alcohol wadded tampon clamped in the bent little finger of the free hand.
• Taking a syringe in her hand, her little finger holds the cannula of the needle.
• With your free hand, we stretch the skin at the injection site (if the injection is done to the baby, then we take the skin in a crease).
• The needle is inserted into the muscle sharply at a right angle, approximately more than half its length.
• The drug is found in the muscle by slowly pressing the piston with the thumb of the free hand. I would not advise doing this by hand, in which you hold a syringe. So too do, but I explain the way we were taught in a medical school.
• Clean cotton wool soaked in alcohol (it is already under your little finger), press the place of the injection, and simultaneously sharply pull out the needle.
• It remains only to massage the muscle for more rapid absorption of the injected medication.

That's all! Congratulations! Now in our world one specialist on intramuscular injections has added.

Perhaps you had to see or feel yourself, as a nurse slaps her palm on the pope, performing the injection. I'll tell you honestly that the teachers did not recommend doing this and it's unprofessional. Good health, I wish!
