Subcutaneous injection – do a shot subcutaneously

You Know what I say to you, friends? It seems to me that lately more and more people interested in medicine. Almost all of my friends are passionate about traditional and folk methods of treatment. I said to my friend: “anyone who communicates with you, be interested in the business, and communicating with me, you became interested in medicine”. He said that only I can enthusiastically talk about how, for example, to do subcutaneous injections.

But you must admit that medicine is really something wonderful. If not for regular subcutaneous injection of insulin, how many loved ones we'd lost. Diabetes was sick, my grandmother and, thank God, lived a full and long life thanks to this injection.

It is Possible that to be able to perform intramuscular injections is more important than knowing how to perform subcutaneous injection,  but it all happens in life. At least any physician should have skills to perform all varieties of this procedure.

And injections come in several forms. In particular:

• Intradermal injection sounds like, but differs from subcutaneous.
• The Most common injection-intramuscular. This is a shot in the buttocks.
• Intravenous injection-an injection into a vein.
• Intra-arterial.

There is even a rectal injection. Yes, Yes, they do use an enema. There are intraosseous injection.

Today, We are mainly interested in the subcutaneous injection technique and its implementation. The example above was with insulin. It just is administered subcutaneously. Diabetics thus do an excellent job, though I'm his grandmother several times gave the injection of insulin subcutaneously. In our family all know how to do injections, even intravenous. Parents are doctors, I'm a paramedic, and the rest I learned when I was sick.
