The general steps for subcutaneous injection in the abdomen are to clean the skin, sterilize, inject, and finally swab for pressure.
Subcutaneous injections are mainly used for drugs that cannot be taken orally and sedated, as well as drugs that need to be absorbed quickly, such as insulin, various vaccines and local anesthesia. Abdominal subcutaneous injection is one of the commonly used injection methods.
Subcutaneous injections in the abdomen are usually chosen in areas with more fatty tissue, such as within 5cm around the umbilicus, but avoiding areas with swellings and hard lumps. The skin is cleaned and sterilized with alcohol or povidone-iodine, after which the needle is inserted vertically, 1/3-2/3 of the 1ml syringe barrel.
Then slowly inject the drug, when the injection is completed, observe the needle eye for blood oozing, and finally the cotton swab can be pressed, remember not to rub repeatedly.
