How to make an injection, and what is needed for this.

With the help of injections, the drug quickly penetrates into the bloodstream and after a few minutes results. With toothache, rapid relief brings an injection in the gum. Sometimes a patient needs an intravenous injection. These technically more complex ways are better to entrust to specialists, but about how to make an injection in the muscle or intramuscularly, let's talk in more detail.

Some people are sick with chronic diseases, which from time to time can worsen. They require the use of permanent injections. On trips to the clinic time is not always enough, and the visits of the nurse to the house are poured into a tidy sum. Know how to make yourself a shot is necessary and in order to avoid an emergency situation. Practically every person in life had moments when it was required to put intramuscular injection close to people or themselves. The procedure will seem pretty simple if you learn how to do it correctly, and most importantly do not be afraid.

How to make an injection correctly? First, we determine the place of the injection and the position of the body itself. There is an opinion that the injection can be done in absolutely any muscle, for example, on the leg or arm. To reduce the likelihood of negative consequences, experts advise injecting into the gluteal region. The hands do not always have the necessary amount of muscle mass, and after a puncture in the leg, it can "pull" for a long time. Before the beginning of the procedure itself you can practice at the mirror to understand how to make the injection more convenient. Standing or lying down it is important that the position of the body is clearly fixed.

For the procedure itself, you will need pieces of cotton wool soaked in medical alcohol, a disposable syringe and the drug intended for administration. Pay special attention to the length of the needle when buying a syringe. A short needle may not reach the muscle, and the medication administered under the skin will cause inflammation. Choose syringes intended for intramuscular injection.

Before you take a shot, you need to wash your hands thoroughly with soap, and you should rub the ampoule with the medicine with alcohol and shake well. Gently podpilite tip of the ampoule and fill the syringe. Please note that in addition to the medicinal product, air bubbles have entered inside. They must be deleted. To do this, direct the syringe with the needle upwards and make a few clicks on it. The bubbles will gather at the top in one large bubble, which can be removed by a small push on the piston. If a drop of medicine appeared on the tip of the needle, then there is no air in the syringe anymore.

We proceed directly to the procedure. Accept the preselected position and insert the needle with a sharp movement. We hold the syringe like a handle, it is desirable to immerse the needle three-quarters of its length. If it's deeper, it's not scary, the main thing is to exclude fear and completely relax. Take a deep breath and, pressing the piston, proceed to a smooth introduction of the medicine. Slow input will help to eliminate the likelihood of cones. At the end of the procedure, in the left hand, take a pre-prepared fleece, and right sharply remove the needle. Press the fleece to the puncture site and massage it well.

Having figured out how to make a shot, do not forget about some of the safety rules. Do not make several injections in one buttock. Five-needle syringes have a thicker needle, so if the medication is not enough, it is better to choose a syringe in two cubes. Do not reuse used syringes, but discard immediately. To choose the safest place for a shot, draw an imaginary cross on the buttock. The upper outer corner and will be an ideal option. The main thing here is not to be afraid, all movements must be sharp and confident, so you will cause yourself or a loved one a minimum of pain.
