    Study Notes

    Parenteral Products Overview

    • "Parenteral" derives from the Greek "para enteron," meaning "to avoid the intestines."
    • Defined as preparations intended for injection through the skin into blood vessels, organs, tissues, or lesions, ensuring sterility and being pyrogen-free.
    • Classified based on the route of administration and volume.

    Classification by Route of Administration

    • Common Routes:

      • Intravenous (IV): Direct injection into a vein; suitable for all drug classes; includes IV bolus for rapid administration; rate of absorption order: IV > IM > SC > ID.
      • Intramuscular (IM): Administered into muscle tissue for moderate absorption time.
      • Subcutaneous (SC): Injection into the fatty tissue under the skin.
      • Intradermal (ID): Injection into the dermis, mainly for diagnostic tests; volume usually ≤ 0.1 mL.

    • Specialized Routes:

      • Administered by trained physicians due to higher risks.
      • Intra-arterial: Direct injection into arteries to target specific organs; used for diagnostic angiography and limited use in chemotherapy.
      • Intra-articular: Injection into joint spaces for antibiotics, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory treatment.
      • Intracisternal: Injection into the cisternal space at the base of the brain, primarily for diagnostics.
      • Intraventricular: Injection into brain ventricles for treating infections and malignancies.
      • Intrathecal: Injection into the spinal canal for anesthesia, chemotherapy, and pain management.
      • Epidural: Injection into the epidural space for regional anesthesia using a Tuohy needle.
      • Intracardiac: Direct injection into heart chambers; primarily for emergencies like cardiac arrest.
      • Intraocular: Injection into eye chambers; details in ophthalmic chapters.
      • Intraosseous: Injection into bone marrow, often used for emergency situations when IV access fails.
      • Intralymphatic: Injection into lymph nodes or vessels, used in diagnostics and immunotherapy.

    Classification by Volume

    • Small Volume Parenterals (SVPs):

      • Volumes below 100 mL, can be single or multiple dose.
      • Preservatives added for multiple-dose preparations; total volume must be <30 mL.

    • Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs):

      • Volumes above 100 mL, up to 5000 mL; intended for single-dose usage.
      • Must be preservative-free and discarded if unused; mostly administered via IV.
      • Infusion modes include continuous, discontinuous, volume over time, and dose over time.
      • Administered via peripheral veins or central lines.

    Uses of Large Volume Parenterals

    • Supply electrolytes and nutrients.
    • Prevent tissue dehydration.
    • Restore blood volume.
    • Dilute toxic materials.
    • IV admixture for premixed injectable drugs.

    Common and Specialized Large Volume Parenterals

    • Common LVPs:

      • Lactated Ringer's injection.
      • 0.9% Sodium Chloride injection.
      • 5% Dextrose injection.

    • Specialized LVPs:

      • Hyperalimentation solutions for total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
      • Cardioplegic solutions.
      • Dialysis solutions (peritoneal and hemodialysis).
      • Irrigating solutions (not categorized as parenteral products).

    Hyperalimentation Solutions

    • Used in TPN, providing nutrients via a central venous catheter.
    • Recommended for patients not taking anything orally for over five days.
    • Indications include long-term coma, severe gastrointestinal syndromes, and esophageal obstruction.
