Summary Introduction
To review:
The three muscles used as intramuscular injection sites and the muscle most often used as injection sites in babies.
Introduction:
An intramuscular injection is a technique used for delivering a medication/substance deep into the muscles. Muscle tissue has a large blood supply than the tissue present beneath the skin and can hold large volume of medication than subcutaneous tissue. A large number of blood vessels are found in muscle as compared to subcutaneous tissue; thus, the rate of absorption at this site is faster than the subcutaneous injections.
