Most of the medicine given through subcutaneous injection needs massages after the injection why not in insulin and anticoagulant injections?
rubbing causes rapid release.... the main idea of giving insulin or anticoagulants is to have a sustained and slow release... Dr.Arun petla MBBS cicindri@gmail.com
How does insulin injection help a diabetic?
When you have diabetes like me, you have no insulin in your body or you just don't have enough.So by giving the insulin injection you get it in your body.Remember diabetes is for life.The most common insulin injections for type 1 diabetes is Lantus and Novorapid.
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
What angle do you use when giving an intravenous injection?

When giving a subcutaneous injection to an obese patient the nurse should give the injection at what angle?
A 90 degree angle is recommended but for obese patient the critical factor is for the Sc to be administered ti the fatty tissue and not the muscle of just under the epidermis.
What are the advantages of subcutaneous injection?
Avoids first pass effect in the liver and there is high bioavailability of the drug in the body. "Some medications are best administered into the subcutaneous tissue by a needle. This route has the advantage of almost complete absorption, providing the patient's circulation is good; therefore an accurate measure of the amount of the drug absorption is possible. Medicines administered in this manner are not affected by gastric disturbances (although it should be remembered that the medicines may themselves cause gastrointestinal disturbances), nor is their administration dependent upon the consciousness or rationality of the patient."
