Intraperitoneal injection
Intraperitoneal injection is a method of delivering substances directly into the peritoneal cavity, the space within the abdomen that contains organs like the stomach, liver, and intestines. It involves inserting a needle through the abdominal wall to access this cavity, allowing fluids, medications, or experimental substances to be absorbed quickly. This technique is commonly used in research and veterinary medicine when rapid systemic absorption is desired. It requires skill to perform safely, ensuring accurate placement to avoid injury to internal organs.
