    The document discusses different types of injections, including intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous injections. It explains where each type of injection is administered, such as in the skin, fat layer, muscle, or vein, and what medications are commonly delivered via each route. The document also briefly mentions some less common types of injections like intraosseous, intraperitoneal, and intrathecal injections.

    Introduction
    Q:What is an injection?

    A: An injection is an infusion method of putting fluid


    into the body
    usually performed with
    a syringe
    a hollow needle
    which is pierced through the skin to a sufficient depth
    for the material to be administered into the body.

    *The abbreviation meaning: Q=Question; A=Answer


    Q:Why would one use an
    injection?
    Injections are among the most common
    health care procedures, with at least 16
    billion administered in developing and
    transitional countries each year.
    95% of injections are administered in
    curative care, 3% are for immunization,
    and the rest for other purposes, such as
    blood transfusions.
    Introduction
    Q:What are the main different types of injections?

    A: The four main routes are:


    1. Intradermal (ID) injection
    2. Subcutaneous (SC) injection
    3. Intramuscular (IM) injection
    4. Intravenous (IV) injection

    1. Intradermal (ID) injection
    Q:What it means?
    For what is used?

    A:
    Intradermal means within, about, or below a dermal tissue layer
    (typically the skin) and describes the location of administration.
    Intradermal injections are delivered into the dermis, or the skin
    layer underneath the epidermis (which is the upper skin layer).
    Intradermal injections are usually given to clients for skin testing
    procedures such as tuberculin screening and allergy tests. These
    medications are given intradermally because they are very
    potent. Since the dermis has a reduced blood supply the
    medication absorption is slower thus reducing the risk of an
    anaphylactic reaction
    2. Subcutaneous (SC) injection
    Where are they administered?
    Subcutaneous injections are administered in the fat layer,
    underneath the skin
    A subcutaneous injection is a method of administering medication.
    In this type of injection, a short needle is used to inject a drug into
    the tissue layer between the skin and the muscle.
    Medication given this way is usually absorbed more slowly than
    if injected into a vein, sometimes over a period of 24 hours.
    Subcutaneous injections are highly effective in administering
    vaccines and medications such as insulin, heparin, morphine,
    diacetylmorphine and goserelin.
    3. Intramuscular (IM) injection
    An intramuscular injection is a technique used to deliver a
    medication deep into the muscles. This allows the medication
    to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly.
    Intramuscular (IM) injection is faster. However, IM injection
    is not for regular use(mostly vaccines), and has its risks.
    Most vaccines should be given via the intramuscular route
    into the deltoid or the anterolateral aspect of the thigh.
    This optimises the immunogenicity of the vaccine and
    minimises adverse reactions at the injection site.
    intra-muscular injections are usually given on the gluteus
    maximus- a big muscle with large muscle mass, making it a
    good deposit for the medication.
    4. Intravenous (IV) injection
    IV medication is often used because of the control it provides
    over dosage. For instance, in some situations, people must
    receive medication very quickly. This includes emergencies,
    such as a heart attack, stroke, or poisoning.
    -Other times, medications may need to be given
    slowly but constantly. IV administration can also be a
    controlled way to give drugs over time.
    Certain drugs may be given by IV administration because if
    you took them orally (by mouth), enzymes in your stomach or
    liver would break them down. This would prevent the drugs
    from working well when theyre finally sent to your
    bloodstream. Therefore, these drugs would be much more
    effective if sent directly into your bloodstream by IV
    administration.
    Introduction
    Other less perfomed types are:
    intraosseous
    intraperitoneal
    intrathecal
    epidural
    intracardiac
    intraarticular
    intracavernous
    intravitreal
