Intramuscular Injection

*Intramuscular (IM) injection administration – This medicine is injected directly into large muscles in the body. Usually in the legs or bottom. This can only be performed by a doctor or trained nurse.

Intramuscular - An injection of drugs into the muscle which allows a deposit of drugs to become established that will be released gradually

The nurse was correct to perform her medication rights prior to administration. This was done correctly if she verified that this was the exact patient, the right drug, the appropriate dose, the correct route, and the accurate time, appropriate documentation, and accurate response. According to the scenario above the nurse verified the order, the rights of medication, the correct patient, and documented in the medication administration record. The nurse failed to document how the individual tolerated the injection of the hydrocortisone. The nurse administered the injection in the left upper, outer quadrant of the patient’s buttocks. This describing the patients left dorsogluteal. According to ATI Nursing Education the current evidence validates a greater risk for paralysis from sciatic nerve damage with this site. Therefore, the use of the dorsogluteal site for intramuscular injections should be avoided.

CR perpendicular to center of knee and include the saline bags on the lateral sides of the phantom. Open collimator to the size of image receptor including the saline bags.

Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone, but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions, like the genioglossus muscle, for example, originates at the chin (geneion) and inserts in the tongue (glossus). Some muscles are named for the arrangement of the fascicle groups. For example the rectus abdominus is the straight muscle that is in the adbominus.

Drugs can be administered in many ways however the most dangerous way to use drugs is through intravenous injections. Several risks factors are associated with IV drug use including death. People that practice this method of delivery for drug use are endangering their lives as well as non-drug users. This method allows a powerful dose to be injected instantly and can lead to an accidental overdose. Injecting drugs intravenously can also damage veins as well with repeated use of this method.

• Fluids and medicines given through an IV tube inserted into one of your veins.

It very important when giving an injection that there are no air bubbles in the needle. Its very important to make sure the substance you are injecting is getting in and not air. As a medical assistant I can make sure there are no bubbles by always drawing up my own injection.Making sure I always double check my syringe ,and if there are bubbles taking the proper procedures to remove the air bubbles. Its very important that your patient is getting all of their injection in the correct places and the correct

Your doctor may use ultrasound or an X-ray as a guide to placing the injection.

As a therapist, it is fundamental to understand the underlying reason for the treatment. ESI injections are given to individuals in order to keep under control the pain by reducing inflammation and swelling. It is usually indicated to individuals with a lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis, can cause severe acute or chronic low back pain and/or leg pain. It is noted

This novel method of administration involves thin needles which penetrate the stratum corneum to deliver the drug (101). This method is painless and increases

the knee joint. Vastius medialis, the “tear drop” is a muscle on the medial side of the quads.

Intramuscular injection is common yet a complex technique used to deliver medication deep into the large muscles of the body. Intra muscular injection route provides faster drug absorption than the subcutaneous route because the muscles have greater vascularity. There are several factors which influences person experiences of pain during Intra muscular injection for example anxiety, culture, age, gender, and expectation of pain relief. These factors may increase or decrease the experience of pain during Intra muscular injection. Also intramuscular injection are frequently referred to as to as a ‘basic skill’, but involve a complex series of consideration and decision relating to volume of injective, medication to be given , technique, site

The QL is a difficult muscle to treat because it is hidden by the erector spinae when the client is lying in a prone position. Therapist would have the client curve his trunk over to one side, with arm abducted; this opens up the area and pulls the erector spinae towards the centre. This makes the lateral fibres, which are prone to injury more accessible. In this position deep friction can be applied to the iliac crest along in the lower

Proper technique for gaining intravenous (IV) access to a patient is crucial for decreasing the potential of complications of the procedure. There is a rare possibility of multiple detrimental effects due to IV insertion, and by understanding these complications the healthcare provider is better equipped to provide competent medical care. Although a minor procedure, if not done correctly, an IV can negatively impact the patient’s health and possibly prognosis. Furthermore, extended knowledge of the following topics can enable these problems to be caught early and treated promptly.
