What else can I help you with?
Where do you give a sub q injection?
Sub q injection is a shortening of subcutaneous injection. Subcutaneous injections are given into the subcutaneous tissue which is the layer of tissue just under the skin - between the skin and the muscle. The most common areas of the body to give a subcutaneous injection are the abdomen, thigh, lower back and upper arm.
Does subcutaneous injection absorb faster than intramuscular injection?
subcutaneous, becauseIntrdermal injections take along time to absorb into the body due to the extended time it takes the med to diffuse across the dermis.
What injection site is most appropriate for a subcutaneous injection for a patient with cachexia and little peripheral subcutaneous tissue?
For obese patient, pinch skin at site and inject needle at 90-degree angle below tissue fold. Rationale: Obese patients have fatty layer of tissue above subcutaneous layer.25 ~ Mosbys Nursing Skills

Why do you inject epinephrine into the thigh instead of the arm?
The reason why we now inject epinephrine into the thigh rather than the arm is because injection into the muscle tissue (IM) results in smoother and more reliable drug absorption, with higher peak therapeutic levels of the drug achieved sooner than with subcutaneous injection. The lateral thigh is often used for the IM injection; the outer upper arm is most commonly used for the subcutaneous(SC) injection. In an "auto-injector pen" used to administer epinephrine (often referred to by the brand name "EpiPen"), the needle may not be long enough to reach the muscle tissue of a large and/or obese person. However, if the epinephrine is injected into the subcutaneous tissue, it will in all likelihood still be effective, albeit not as quickly as via IM injection. Hope this helps!
Is the bicep a common injection site for IM in dogs?
No, this would be a relatively uncommon site for an intramuscular injection in most animal species.

What is Common Rail Engine?
This a type of injection system that all the injectors are run off one high pressure source. Most current diesels are Common rail direct injection engines.
Is a vaccine injected to the skin?
No, vaccines are not injected into the skin. Most vaccines are administered through injection into the muscle or subcutaneous tissue (under the skin). Some vaccines are also given orally or nasally.
