You want to give Demerol over about two minutes because it can cause a burning sensation if pushed too fast. Sometimes, if the NS is running at a slow enough rate, you can push the Demerol into a port further away from the patient, allowing the IV fluids to slowly carry the Demerol into your patient.
For HI2 it is IM

Streptomycin is only available as injections and therefore cannot be given orally
IM means Intramuscular route of drug administration, while IV means Intraveinal route of drug administration. IV route, takes the drug directly into the bloodstream resulting in 100% bioavailability instantly. Where as in IM route, drug is injected into muscle tissues, which holds the drug for a while and gradually releases into the bloodstream through the network bed of capillaries running across or surrounding the muscle tissue. In IM, the bioavailability may be slightly less than 100% of drug due to diffusion from muscle through tissue fluid and into the blood.
demerol slow IV push
Both demerol and percocet are opioids, meaning they have opium alkaloids as their base. As far as potency goes, the oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the meperidine in Demerol. Taken orally, Demerol is only about one-third as strong as when given IV or in a muscle. Taken orally, oxycodone is about 50% stronger than morphine, which is many times stronger than meperidine.
Guage 18 in medicine is the size of a needle either for injections or for IV insertion.
Oily injections are not administered via the IV route because the oily content can lead to potential risks such as respiratory distress, embolism, and organ damage if it enters the bloodstream. Injecting oily substances directly into the veins can cause blockages and complications that are averted by administering them through other routes such as intramuscular or subcutaneous.
yes, it wouldn't be to bad but it might feel a little different
