Injection Techniques Specifically Tailored for the Optometrist

Bruce Muchnick and Janice Glass

Injectable drugs can be administered in several ways. The two routes that are emphasized here are the subcutaneous (SQ) route and the intramuscular (IM) route. The time for an injectable medication to take effect can vary from seconds to longer than 30 minutes depending on the purposeful choice of the drug, dosage, and route of administration. Although this control is a distinct advantage of the parenteral technique, injections are the most hazardous way to administer a drug. Exercising caution and maintaining proper technique prevent infection and avoid damage to the pa-

tient’s nerves, blood vessels, tissues, and bones.

NOTE: Injections are potentially dangerous techniques that should be attempted by the optometrist only after he or she has received advanced training and appropriate certification.

THE SUBCUTANEOUS ROUTE Use

The SQ route is used to deliver a dose of epinephrine to mitigate an allergic reaction; epinephrine is effective in this instance when given by the SQ route. Because of its high potency, epinephrine given IM could cause life-threatening arrhythmias and hypertension.

Contraindications

To prevent damage to subcutaneous tissue, drugs that are irritating, oil-based, or concentrated are given by the IM route. Administration of one of these solutions by the SQ route could cause tissue extravasation, necrosis, abscess, or tissue ischemia.

Subcutaneous Sites

An injection into SQ tissue is usually best done at a site where no blood vessels, bones, or nerve endings are present near the surface. Frequently used sites are the thighs, the hips, the fat pad of the lower abdomen, and the flabby tissue above the elbow of the upper arm, (Figures Al to A4).

FIGURE A1 Flabby tissue above the elbow of the upper arm is a frequently used site for a subcutaneous injection.

368 APPENDIX 3

FIGURE A2

Twelve SQ sites are found around the fat pad in

FIGURE A4

The upper thigh is a commonly used SQ site.

 

 

 

the lower abdomen of this elderly patient.

FIGURE A3 Three sites around each hip are appropriate SQ sites where no significant blood vessels, bones, or nerve endings are present.

Subcutaneous Needle

The optometrist should choose a 25to 27-gauge, 58-inch needle with a 3-ml syringe or a tuberculin syringe. The volume range for SQ injections is 0.1 ml to 1.0 ml.

Onset and Duration of Action

Onset is in minutes (as in the case of epinephrine) to hours (as in some types of insulin and heparin). The duration of action is hours to weeks.

APPENDIX 3

369

Administration by Subcutaneous Injection

Step 1: Obtain equipment and medication. Assemble syringe and needle according to manufacturer’s instructions if necessary. Today, most such instruments are preassembled and sterilized.

Step 2: Withdraw the drug by inverting the vial and pulling back on the plunger to the desired dose at eye level. Withdraw needle from vial and depress plunger to remove air from barrel.

Step 3: Select the site. Pinch at least a 1-inch fat fold. Select whatever angle permits the needle to reach the tissue between the muscle and the fat.

370 APPENDIX 3

Step 4: Cleanse the skin area in a circular, outward motion with an alcohol swab and let it air dry.

Step 5: Insert the needle quickly with a dart-like motion (it is not necessary to aspirate) at a 45to 90-degree angle.

APPENDIX 3

371

Step 6: Inject the drug slowly and withdraw the needle. If bleeding is present, apply gentle pressure with a dry, sterile sponge. Do not massage the site.

THE INTRAMUSCULAR ROUTE

The IM route is used when one is delivering a larger volume of drug than with the SQ route, when giving an irritating drug, or when a more rapid onset is needed. Absorption into the bloodstream is faster than with the SQ route because of the greater blood supply to the muscles.

Complications from IM injections include necrosis, skin sloughing, abscesses, nerve injury, and persistent pain. To safely administer an IM injection, the site chosen should not be near large blood vessels and large nerves.

Intramuscular Sites

The ventrogluteal (gluteus medius and minimus) site has dense muscles and no major blood vessels or nerves.

The dorsogluteal (gluteus maximus) site is the most dangerous. An injection made too close to the buttocks crease could puncture the superior gluteal artery and damage the sciatic nerve permanently. This area is a common site of injection, however. To locate the proper area, one can picture a cross, superimposed on the right gluteus maximus with the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines located in the center of the right cheek. The only safe area for an IM injection in the dorsogluteal site is in the superior lateral box formed by the cross (Figure A5).

The vastus lateralis (outer midthigh) site has no major arteries or blood vessels. This area is easily located but can be painful because of the large number of nerve endings in the muscle. It is often used in children (Figure A6).

The deltoid site is easily accessible but is a small muscle; therefore no more than 2 ml of medication can be given in one injection. The optometrist can give as much as 2 ml of medication in each arm if necessary (Figure A7).
