Knowledge of how to inject a child in life is always useful

Knowing how to do the injection of a child includes the technical and psychological parts. Even nurses in the hospital often sentence: "Suffer, little, patience, dear!", Although they practice this practice from morning till night.

A mother or relative is much more difficult. At the sight of a sick unhappy baby, the heart breaks, and yet it is still to hurt him!

Many will ask: "Is it not easier to invite a nurse?"

If injections should be given intravenously, usually they do, but if intramuscular injections are done 2-3 times a day, they usually do it on their own.

The technical part of the procedure

It is not difficult to understand how to inject a child . For this you need to have:

• syringe;
• medicine;
• Antiseptic;
• Cotton wool.

And it is desirable (especially if the child is small) one more person who will help the baby to fix.

So, how to put the injections to children.

• First of all, perform certain hygienic measures, namely - carefully wash their hands.
• Then the ampoule is wiped with cotton wool, with an antiseptic applied to it beforehand, the tip is broken off, previously wrapped with cotton wool with the same agent.
• Open the syringe package and gently take it by the body. Remove the packing from the needle and take the medicine.
• The syringe is turned over after the medication is set, releasing excess air through the piston.

How correctly to do an injection in the buttock?

It is desirable that the assistant all this time talking with the baby, explaining to him the necessity of the procedure, gently suggested that nothing terrible was happening.

The difference is in the way small children are injected And how they are doing great - only in the psychological approach. The older children are told that they need to lie still and suffer. Toddlers need to be kept, even if they already understand what's going on. Involuntarily jerking, a small child can hurt himself.

Mentally the buttock is divided into 4 parts, and the prick is placed in the outer quarter. It is advisable to massage the place in advance, after which it must be wiped with an antiseptic.

Introduce the needle at an angle of 90 degrees, approximately half, collecting the skin into the fold beforehand. It is not worth dashing the needle into the buttocks, as nurses of hospitals often do. They have a "stuffed" hand, and they know perfectly well how to inject a child. At the kid a fatty layer practically is not present, and, having entered sharply, without skill, it is possible to damage a periosteum.

After inserting the needle, the piston is pulled up slightly to itself, to find out if the needle has not hit the vessel. If there is no blood, you can administer the medicine.

Then, at the same angle as the needle was inserted, it is removed. This must be done very carefully, so as not to damage the edges of the wound. It is clamped with cotton wool with antiseptic and rubbed, slightly pressing.

If you use a children's syringe "BogMark", the technique of how to inject a child, slightly changes.

General rules and psychological mood

If the prick is painful, you need to do it as quickly as possible. Sometimes, according to the instructions, slow medication is required. This is the case if the preparation is viscous in consistency.

The site of the injection should be massaged so that the medicine dissolves more quickly.

And do not forget about the psychological attitude! The more confident and calm the one who performs medical manipulation, the calmer the procedure and the baby will be.
