The procedure of hypodermic injection mainly includes checking the patient’s information, checking the drug solution, sterilizing and injecting the drug.
1. Checking patient information: before performing hypodermic injection, it is necessary to check the patient information carefully. In addition to the name, it is also necessary to check the drugs to be injected and the dosage, in order to prevent the wrong information from leading to the wrong drug injection.
2. Inspection of drug solution: the ampoule of the drug and the sealing condition should be inspected, the expiration date of the drug should be checked, and the drug should be prepared. In the process of drug preparation, it is necessary to ensure that the air in the syringe is emptied to prevent air from being injected into the tissue during injection.
3. Sterilize and inject the drug: choose alcohol or tincture of iodine to sterilize the injection area, and then enter the needle into the skin and draw back no blood to ensure that the drug will not be injected into the blood vessels. The drug is then slowly pushed into the tissue, and after the injection is finished, the needle is quickly removed.
After the injection, the patient is usually required to remain under observation for about 20 minutes to ensure that there are no abnormalities in the patient.
