Deltoid
Biceps or triceps
injections are normally given in the deltoid muscle which attaches to itself to the scapula and acromion
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.
an injection into the muscle is called a Intramuscular injection or IM injection for short. These are the safest types of injections for people who are not certified to work with animals to give.
Injections can be intravenous (directly into a vein), intramuscular (directly into a muscle) and subcutaneous (under skin).
The four main types of injections are intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC or SQ), intravenous (IV), and intradermal (ID). Intramuscular injections deliver medication deep into the muscle, subcutaneous injections administer it into the fatty tissue just under the skin, intravenous injections provide immediate effects by delivering drugs directly into the bloodstream, and intradermal injections are given into the dermis layer of the skin, often for allergy tests or vaccinations. Each type is used based on the medication's properties and the desired speed of absorption.
I am an ortho/neuro RN and have seen Intramuscular injections of botox given for this reason. Botox ofcourse causes muscle paralysis.
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.
(cortizone) injections or (kenalog injections) can be given systemically to help reduce arthritis flares.
The number or injections that can safely be given is dependant on the patient's weight and the amount of Lidocaine you plan to administer.
No, it is generally given subcutaneously andoccasionallyintravenously.
