Subcutaneous Injection (SC)

A technique used to administer medications into the loose connective tissue beneath the skin. This method is known for its gradual and consistent absorption of drugs, ideal for small volumes of non-irritating medications.

Signup and view all the flashcards

Subcutaneous Tissue & Drug Absorption

The SC method involves injecting medications into the fatty layer beneath the skin. This layer is not as rich in blood vessels as other locations, leading to a controlled and slower absorption of the drug compared to injections in muscle.

Signup and view all the flashcards

When SC is Used

The SC method is advantageous for administering small amounts of medications (0.5-1 ml) that don't irritate the tissue and require a consistent absorption rate. It's often chosen for vaccines, insulin, and certain medications for pain relief or specific conditions.

Importance of Switching Injection Sites

To prevent the accumulation of drug in a single area, it's crucial to switch up the injection sites. This helps avoid potential complications like abscesses or changes in the fat tissue at the injection site.

Aspirating for Insulin or Heparin

Drawing back on the syringe to check if you've hit a blood vessel (aspiration) is not recommended for SC insulin or heparin injections. This practice can lead to tissue damage and potential complications if done incorrectly.

Administering SC Injections Slowly

To ensure patient comfort during the injection process, it's important to administer the medication slowly. This prevents sudden pressure and discomfort, allowing for a more comfortable experience.

Potential Complications of SC Injections

Repeating injections in the same spot can lead to the formation of sterile abscesses or changes in the fat tissue (lipohypertrophy/lipoatrophy). These complications are due to the accumulation of the drug in that specific area.

Study Notes

Course Information

Parenteral Injection

  • Parenteral administration is preferred in situations where enteral administration is unsuitable or rapid effects are needed (e.g., intravenous or intratissue injection).
  • Bioavailability is typically complete (100%) for parenteral medications.
  • Parenteral formulations must be sterile and ideally isotonic and nonpyrogenic, closely approximating the body's pH (7.4).

Rationale for Parenteral Administration

  • Used when drugs are not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Used for medications that decompose in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Used when prompt action of medication is needed.
  • Used when patients are unresponsive.
  • Used when patients cannot ingest medications (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).

Disadvantages of Parenteral Treatment

  • Infection risk
  • Toxic and allergic responses
  • Tissue injury, localized hemorrhage, tissue necrosis, sterile abscesses
  • Pain
  • Being costly

Types of Parenteral Injection

  • Intravenous (IV)
  • Intramuscular (IM)
  • Subcutaneous (SC)
  • Intradermal (ID)

Intradermal Injection (ID)

  • Medications are administered into the dermis, beneath the epidermis.
  • The slowest absorption rate among parenteral methods.
  • Used in diagnostic procedures (e.g., tuberculin tests, allergen/drug sensitivity tests, local anesthesia).
  • Suitable injection sites include inner surface of the forearm, dorsal surface of the upper arm, superior surface of the back, and upper chest region.

Subcutaneous Injection (SC)

  • Medications are administered into the loose connective tissue beneath the dermal layer.
  • Drug absorption is slower than IM but faster than ID and oral routes.
  • Suitable for small volumes (0.5-1 ml) of non-irritating, water-soluble medications.
  • Common medications administered this way include certain vaccines, narcotics, insulin, heparin, epinephrine, and growth hormone.

Intramuscular Injection (IM)

  • Medications are administered into deep muscle tissue.
  • Can be used for medications with potent irritating effects due to limited nerve endings.
  • Maximum volume varies depending on the individual (e.g., 5 ml for adults, 2 ml for children, elderly, and cachectic patients, 1 ml for children under 2).
  • Common injection sites include dorsogluteal region, ventrogluteal region, vastus lateralis, and deltoid muscle.

Intravenous Injection (IV)

  • Medications are administered directly into a vein.
  • Rapid onset of effects.
  • Considered a hazardous practice requiring both knowledge and skill.
  • Delivery of fluids or medications is referred to as infusion.
  • Infusion pumps are commonly used in clinics and intensive care units.

Infusion Devices

  • Used to deliver IV fluids, medications, or nutritional support to patients.
  • Can be used for continuous, intermittent, or bolus (loading dose) administration.
  • Smart infusion pumps are used to minimize errors.
  • Newer systems often include barcode scanning for patient and medication verification, and warning systems for extreme dosages.
