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
