INTRAMASCULAR INJECTION
•An intramuscular(IM) injection is a method of
delivering medication directly into a muscle, where it is
absorbed into the bloodstream.

Common Sites for
IntramuscularInjection
• Deltoid Muscle (Upper Arm):- Located on the outer part of
the upper arm, it is often used for small volumes of
medication, typically less than 2 ML.
• It's a common site for vaccines.

• Vastus LateralisMuscle (Thigh):- Located on the side of the
thigh, this site is used for larger volumes of medication and is
commonly used for children and infants.

• Gluteus Medius(Buttocks):- Located in the upper outer
quadrant of the buttock, it is the most common site for larger
volumes (up to 5 mL) of medication in adults

Z-TRACK METHOD
• TheZ-track method is a technique used for intramuscular
(IM) injections to prevent medication from leaking into the
surrounding tissue.
• With your non-dominant hand, pull the skin and tissue about
1 to 1.5 inches to one side.
• This "displaces" the skin and subcutaneous tissue, creating a
"Z" shape when the needle is inserted.

Conformation method
• Aspirate(Pull Back on Plunger): This was traditionally done to check
for blood vessels before injecting.
• However, newer guidelines suggest aspiration may not be necessary
for all injection sites (such as the deltoid muscle).
• If you aspirate and see blood in the syringe, it indicates you've hit a
blood vessel, and you should remove the needle and try again in a
different location

SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION
• Asubcutaneous injection is a method of administering
medication beneath the skin, into the layer of fat and tissue
just below the epidermis.
• This injection is commonly used for drugs that need to be
absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, such as insulin for
diabetes, certain vaccines.

INTRADERMAL INJECTION
• Anintradermal injection is a medical procedure where a
substance is injected just beneath the outer layer of the skin,
into the dermis.
• The dermis is the layer of skin located just below the
epidermis (outermost layer) and above the subcutaneous
tissue.

ANGELES FOR INSERTING
INJECTION
•15-degree angle: The needle is typically inserted at a very
shallow angle, around 15 degrees to the surface of the skin.
• This angle ensures the needle stays just under the epidermis,
into the dermis, where it creates the desired raised "wheal" or
bump at the injection site.

MS. ANEETA SHARMA
MSC TUTOR (CHILD HEALTH NURSING)

TECHNIQUES
•Needle insertion:- Theneedle should be almost
parallel to the skin, and you should be able to see the
needle tip just beneath the surface as it enters the
dermis.
•Injection:- After the needle is inserted at the correct
angle, the medication or substance (such as an
allergen for testing or the TB vaccine) is injected slowly
to create a small raised area on the skin

INTRAVENOUS INJECTION
• Anintravenous (IV) injection refers to the administration
of medication, fluids, or other substances directly into a
vein.
• This method is one of the fastest ways to deliver substances
to the body, as it allows for immediate absorption into the
bloodstream

Common Sites forIV Injection
• Site of Injection:- An IV injection is typically administered
into a vein in the arm or hand, although veins in other areas
of the body can also be used, depending on the situation.
• The most common veins used are:-
• Cephalic vein- (on the back of the hand or forearm)
• Basilic vein- (inner side of the forearm)
• Median cubital vein- (in the bend of the elbow)
