Why don't people pull back enough? When you pull back not only will you see bubbles but the suction will pull them back in when you let go. Inject slow if you start to cough you are in a vein.

I have now done this 7 times and I still get queasy. I would never make it as a insulin shot dependent diabetic.

@TasmiaVictoria It does not matter as long as you check for the air bubble by pulling back just a wee bit on the syringe in the leg which he seemed to do. If you get blood you are in the wrong spot and start over.

Actually, 1 inch is usually fine, bigger needle for an area that has more fat. If you pull back just a wee bit on the syringe once it is in your leg, you should see an air bubble indicating that you are in muscle. If you see blood remove it and start over.

Intramuscular injections are suppose to be giving with the skin spreaded not pinched together. Its the sub dermas injections that the skin it pinched. You want to make sure the tissue it spreaded and the medication is getting into the muscle.

best way to do injected when you got the gear in needle change needle coz when you draw the gear in to needle it blunts the needle so once you got the gear in anyone change needle then inject

It actually depends on what you are injecting. Some drugs need to be administered into the muscle, some into the fatty tissue layer, and some are subcutaneous (just under the skin).
