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

Knowing how to give an injection to a child includes the technical and psychological parts. Even nurses in the hospital often sentence:

"Be patient, small, be patient, dear!", Although they are engaged in a similar practice from morning to evening.

Native mother or relative is much more difficult. At the sight of a sick unhappy baby, his heart breaks, and yet he has to be hurt!

Many will ask: "Wouldn't it be easier to invite a nurse?"

If the injections need to be placed intravenously, they usually do this, but if the injections are intramuscular and they have to be done 2-3 times a day, they usually manage on their own.

The technical part of the procedure

To understand how to give an injection to a child is not difficult. For this you need to have:

• syringe;
• medicine;
• antiseptic;
• cotton wool.

And it is desirable (especially if the child is small) of another person who will help the child fix.

So, how to put shots to children.

• First of all, they perform certain hygienic measures, namely, wash their hands thoroughly.
• Then the vial is wiped with a cotton swab, with an antiseptic pre-applied on it, and the tip is broken off, having been wrapped in cotton with the same tool.
• Open the packaging of the syringe and gently take it by the body. Remove the packaging from the needle and collect medicine.
• After a set of medicines, the syringe is inverted, releasing excess air with the help of a piston.

How to make a shot in the buttock?

It is desirable that the assistant all this time talking to the baby, explaining to him the need for the procedure, gently inspired that nothing terrible is happening.

The difference is how small children are given shots.

and how they make it big - only psychologicallyapproach. Older children are told that they need to lie still and suffer. Kids also need to keep, even if they already understand what is happening. Involuntarily twitching, a small child can hurt himself.

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

A needle is inserted at a 90 degree angle, approximatelyhalf, collecting the pre-folded skin. It is not worth famously sticking a needle into the buttock, as hospital nurses often do. They have a “full” hand, and they know very well how to give an injection to a child. The baby has practically no fat layer, and, having entered it sharply, without skill, it is possible to damage the periosteum.

After inserting the needle, the plunger tightens slightly towards itself to see if the needle has fallen into the vessel. If there is no blood, you can enter the medicine.

Then, at the same angle at which 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 a cotton swab with an antiseptic and rubbed, gently pressing.

If you use the "BogMark" children's syringe, the technique of how to give an injection to a child varies slightly.

General rules and mental attitude

If the injection is painful, it should be done as quickly as possible. Sometimes the instructions require a slow medication. This is done if the drug is bulky in consistency.

The injection site must be massaged so that the medicine resolves faster.

And do not forget about the psychological mood! The more confident and calmer the one who performs medical manipulation, the calmer the child will be treated to the procedure.
