Yes, you would aspirate for IM injections to make sure you aren't in a vein which could result in phlebitis and embolus if a suspension was given intravenously.

Injections which are not made in a vein or a muscle but just under the skin are called?
Injections just under the skin, so that you can see the needle while the medication is injected, are referred to as Intradermal. The PPD test for tuberculosis is administered this way. Injections administered into the layer below the skin are called subcutaneous. Insulin is administered this way. Injections which deliver medicine into a muscle are referred to as Intramuscular. Most immunizations are given this way, as are most antibiotic injections. Injections which deliver medicine directly into the bloodstream are referred to as Intravenous.
When giving subcutaneous injections you do aspirate for blood first why not in giving anticoagulants and insulin injection?
When giving SubQ injections you 'do NOT' aspirate. I am a nursing student and we have been taught not to apirate insulin as it is only going into the SQ layer which only has tiny capillaries and will do no significant damage if hit. The rules for insulin injection are as follows: *if you can pinch an inch, inject at 45 degrees, if you can pinch 2 inches, inject at 90 degrees *keep bevel up, do not aspirate, do not massage (alters absorption rate) *used mixed insulins within 5 minutes *for rapid-acting and short-acting insulins, have FOOD IN SIGHT
