    Study Notes

    Injuries from Intramuscular Injections

    • Injuries occur due to the point of needle entry and medication deposition
    • Possible injuries include:
      • Paralysis resulting from neural damage
      • Abscess
      • Cyst
      • Hematoma
      • Sloughing of the skin
      • Scirring

    Parenteral Routes of Administration

    Intramuscular Route

    • Solution-based drugs are absorbed more rapidly than suspended drugs
    • Aqueous preparations are absorbed more rapidly than oleaginous preparations
    • Injection risks damaging the sciatic nerve, especially in resisting children
    • In infants, the gluteal area is small and primarily composed of fat, not muscle
    • Infant muscles are poorly developed
