What else can I help you with?
What type of injection is given when a large amount of medication must be given into a muscle?
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.
How do you draw up 0.7 ml on a 3 ml syringe?
Pull the plunger of the syringe down to the 0.7 ml mark on the scale. Insert the needle into the liquid and slowly draw up the desired amount of 0.7 ml by gently pulling back on the plunger. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped in the syringe before administering the medication.
Why are intramuscular injections more painful than subcutaneous injections?
Usually, the vehicle used for a intramuscular drug contains oil or a "fatty liquid". The amount of liquid injected is generally bigger in an IM injection and the drug might also be more irritative. The nail used is generally bigger and longer. For these reasons, almost all IM injections are more painful than SC injections.
Needle length and gauge to administer an intramuscular injection?
A ⅝" needle is sufficient in adults weighing <130 lbs (<60 kg); a 1" needle is sufficient in adults weighing 130-152 lbs (60-70 kg); a 1-1½" needle is recommended in women weighing 152-200 lbs (70-90 kg) and men weighing 152-260 lbs (70-118 kg); a 1½" needle is recommended in women weighing >200 lbs (>90 kg) or men weighing >260 lbs (>118 kg). A ⅝" (16mm) needle may be used only if the skin is stretched tight, the subcutaneous tissue is not bunched, and injection is made at a 90-degree angle.

What is a oral syringe?
Oral syringe is an instrument with the help of which a precise amount of liquidized medication (e.g. solution, suspension, emulsion) can be taken by mouth.
Which unit would the doctor use to measure the amount of drug in the syringe?
I work at a hospital and we usually use ml's or cc's depending on the type of syringe.
How big is the flu shot?
Flu shots have been administered intramuscularly (IM) in the upper arm in adults and in the thigh in children aged over six months. Children under six months can not be vaccinated yet. There is also now a new intradermal (ID) injection for flu for adults ages 18 - 64. The typical IM syringe needle is a 25.4 mm (1 or 1 1/2 inch) long needle and it is usually 22-25 Gauge size. It really isn't very big as medical intramuscular injection needles go. The ID syringe needle is tiny in comparison (90% smaller) and is very useful for the needle-averse patient due to small size, less pain on injection, and the needle is not readily visible in the special micro-injection system. ID needles are short, injected only 1.5 mm deep (0.039 inches) and are thin (30 gauge). The amount of vaccine in an adult dose of the IM H1N1/09 flu shot is 0.5 mL (one half cc), which is a very small amount (approximately 1/10 of a teaspoon). But the micro dose of ID vaccine is only 0.1 mL. The IM vaccine's dose of antigen is 45 mcg while the ID contains antigen in a dose of 27 mcg for as good or better immunization. The skin has special immune system cells available that help the ID vaccine work better. In trials 96% of clinicians administering the vaccines would recommend the ID vaccine.
How much amount of blood needed to detect pregnancy?
About half a syringe full.
How do you read the amount of medicine in a syringe in a syringe?
The same way you read ANY syringe. From www.wikipedia.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringes), if you click on the image of the 10ml syringe, you'll see the markings on the barrel. You measure the units of fluid from the needle side back to the plunger - so as you pull back the plunger you draw in "x" ml's of fluid as marked from the needle back. Standard safety procedures surrounding the use of a syringe should always be followed, and in no way is this short answer a full and complete explanation of how to correctly/safely use a syringe.
What is a gas syringe clamp holder used for?
It is used to hold a gas syringe in place when carrying out an experiment. The gas syringe will fill up with gas and you can read the amount of gas within it using the measuring lines. Hope it helped. Ask for any other queries that need answering.
Can you use a gas syringe to measure the amount of CO2 gas is produced when burning coal or will the syringe melt?
A gas syringe can typically measure the amount of CO2 produced from burning coal without melting, as it is designed to withstand high temperatures. However, it is important to check the specific temperature range that the syringe can tolerate before using it in a high-temperature environment like burning coal. It is always recommended to use equipment that is designed for such applications to ensure accurate measurements and safety.
Why is a syringe more useful than a balloon to cunduct this experiment?
Because you can measure the amount of gas
