Subcutaneous injection

[icesar100]

that looks a lil weir how he is holding the syringe. doesnt look too safe... (my opinion)

[mythyda]

Wrong site and I don't like how he hold the syringe

[iiYzch]

@mythyda It's the correct site, Midway of shoulder and elbow.

Sorry... It's sincitybby!

[nena0377]

I agree with sincityboy too! If you don't aspirate you can get a vessel! The only one you don't need to are for such as TBs

[jazmineis4rm209]

To many mistakes!! But practice makes master :))

Reference: RN

[Darlenex09]

no you have to aspirate at all times. wat if you inject the med in a vessel? that would be an I.V & your not supposed to do an I.V

aspirating allows you kno if ur in a vessel so when u aspirate and blood comes into the barrel then your suppose to takeout the needle... an RNnever used to aspirate but the instructer made her and when she did blood got in the barrel and ever since then she always aspirated for caution..its a small chance yu put it in a vessel, but its a chance u dont wana make

[greenapple2345]

you cant hit a vein with a needle for subcutaneous injection

[sringangel]

wow nacl good idea i should ask my lecturers to provide next time XD

[Ladybug91085]

I thought you only had to aspirate an intramuscualr injection?

[gibsongod123]

its good practice to aspirate no matter what so you know if you hit a vein

[raymanlegy]

yeah that's what i was thinking.....

[atoceansmercy]

@Ladybug91085 he gave subq

[13missmarie]

and yes the person below me is right ALWAYS aspirate you need to know if you hit a vien

[zerocool098]

you dont have to if your doing subq

[caitywood386]

@13missmarie Nope. Only in IM injections,,,maybe way back when but now precautions say to only aspirate w/ IM's

[sincitybby20]

@caitywood386 you have to aspirate with every injection except for an interdermal.

[caitywood386]

@sincitybby20 I have to disagree. I am working on my ADN right now, third semester and was taught to only aspirtate w/ IM's...its not neccesary w/ Subq

[sincitybby20]

@caitywood386 If you hit a vein and dont aspirate there could be serious comlications. I guess everyone has there own opinions. I always aspirate except on intradermal

[sincitybby20]

@caitywood386 If you hit a vein and dont aspirate there could be serious comlications. I guess everyone has there own opinions. I always aspirate except on intradermal. Another student gave me a sub-q and when she aspirated she drew blood.

@sincitybby20 We don't aspirate also when we gve insulin and heparin subc. based on book. :)

[sincitybby20]

@iiYzch I know you dont aspirate on insulin :)

[zachstar19]

I think, you need to aspirate after the needle was inserted... am i right?????

[benass14]

[aFlyingFox]
