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
