Injection Techniques

Injection techniques involve methods for introducing substances like medications or vaccines into the body using a needle. Key techniques include intramuscular (into muscle), subcutaneous (under the skin), and intravenous (into a vein). Proper technique ensures the substance is delivered accurately and safely, minimizing discomfort and complications. This includes selecting the correct needle size, cleaning the site to prevent infection, and following proper insertion and withdrawal procedures. Skilled technique is essential for effective treatment, reducing pain, and preventing side effects. Healthcare professionals are trained to perform injections efficiently, adhering to safety and hygiene standards.
