We all periodically encounter suchcircumstances, when you need to provide medical assistance, and there is no specialist nearby. But there are such things that you need to know yourself, for example, how to do injections. In principle, it's pretty simple, but not everyone has the information on how to inject a shot subcutaneously.
First, you need to know that the injections aredifferent types: intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous. Intramuscular injection can be performed by any person, despite the medical qualification. And how correctly to do or make nyxes intravenously or subcutaneously I shall not write, it is better to entrust them to physicians.
Before you do injections, you need to know,in fact, a place for an injection. The outer upper square is the best place for an injection. For intramuscular injection, a special long needle should be used. You can not use short needles for intramuscular injections, which are used for subcutaneous injections. A long needle must be inserted over its entire length. Read the instructions on how to do shots.
Beforehand, you need to wash your hands, preferably withsoap. Next, you need to take an ampoule with a medicine, so that the medicine does not remain in the ampoule, you need to tap on it with your fingernail. Next, you need to treat the ampoule at the point of incision with alcohol. Using a special file, it is necessary to make incisions at the base of the thick part of the ampoule, then wrap it in a napkin, with a light effort, break the ampoule at the cut. After this, you need to open the syringe package and put the needle on the syringe without removing the cap. Remove the cap from the needle and holding the ampoule, inject the medication into the syringe.
In order to release air from the medicine,Hold the syringe in an upright position, and when tapping with a fingernail, air bubbles will rise upward. Next, it is necessary to gently release some liquid until the drops appear on the tip of the needle. Thus it is necessary to direct a syringe aside, in order not to get liquid into the eye. After this, put the cap back on the needle again.
After they decided on the place for the injection,wipe it with alcohol solution. To reduce pain, it is necessary to squeeze the skin in a place where there will be an injection, and then with a sharp movement of the hand to insert a needle. In this case it is necessary to take into account that the needle must be immediately inserted into the required depth. Then slowly inject the medicine. When all is finished - remove the needle and press the cotton wool with alcohol solution to the site of the injection. Now you know how to do the injections.
What are the mistakes during the injection?
There are cases when, for some reason, instead ofthe necessary drug was injected into another, in which there was no need. In this case, you need to immediately apply ice to the injection site, it will prevent absorption of the drug. Call the doctor and observe the reaction to the drug for an hour.
Also, there is no need to touch the needle with your fingers, in case you still allowed the contact of the open needle with any surface, it must be replaced.
In case the injection is intramuscularly made shallowly, and at the injection site a seal appears, it is necessary to apply a container with a warm liquid to this place, preferably a heating pad.
In case of getting into the vessel, it is necessary to strongly press the bottle with alcohol solution at the injection site and hold for at least 5 minutes, after which it is also necessary to apply ice.
Note that you can not put an injection if the reaction toThe medicine is unfamiliar, and the patient has a chance of allergic reactions. If the patient has an itch after the injection, redness, breathing complications or nausea - urgently need to call an ambulance, as this can be an anaphylactic shock.
