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.
