Vial Medication Administration: How to Withdraw Vial Medication Nursing Skill

Показать описание
Vial medication administration nursing skill. Learn techniques to withdraw medication from a vial using a syringe with a needle.

NOTE: Before withdrawing medication from the vial, ensure that the vial is not cracked, expired, or contaminated. After withdrawing the medication into the syringe, verify that the correct amount has been withdrawn and that the solution in the syringe is free of air bubbles, particulate matter, or discoloration.

Medications can come in different forms, such as ampules, vials, tablets, capsules, and so forth. When withdrawing medication from a vial, there are a few things you'll want to know as a nursing student or nurse.

First, there are different needles that can be attached to the syringe. You can use a traditional needle with a beveled tip; you can use a blunt-tip needle to reduce the risk of needle sticks; or you can use a filter needle, which is sometimes required or recommended when drawing medication from a vial, particularly in cases of reconstituted medication.

When withdrawing from a vial, you'll want to do these things (assuming they fit with the protocols and manufacturer's instructions):

NOTE: Some medications or vaccines may require a different technique, so always consult with the manufacturer's instructions.

-gather your supplies
-perform hand hygiene
-clean the vial's top with alcohol prep
-attach the appropriate needle
-stick the needle using a technique to prevent coring of the rubber on the vial (start with 45 degree angle, and as you puncture the vial, rotate the needle to a 90 degree angle in one smooth motion).
-push air into the vial equal to the amount of medication you plan to draw
-invert the vial to withdraw medication
-remove air bubbles
-and much more

While I'm not a nurse, nor am I studying to become one personally, I give myself weekly HRT injections. This has helped me figure out how to draw my Testosterone properly as a visual learner. Week 4 as of today and I still find myself coming to this every Thursday just to clarify that I'm doing it right. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm no nurse and giving myself IVF injections. This was super helpful! I previously pulled the needle out while it and the vial were vertical and some med sprayed. So, grateful to learn to angle the pair when removing the needle to avoid this. Appreciate all the tips too! 🙂

I had my first grad day yesterday and was worried about getting a needle stick injury from the build up of pressure. This video has really helped with a nice slow explanation and close up. Thank you so much xx

you should do a video on what gauge/needle length/site/injection position to use for each different injection type <3

Not a nurse, but I'm studying aseptic technique for pharmacy technicians. The only difference is I'd be in garb and under a laminate hood. This video REALLY helped me get the proper technique down!

Thank you for posing this. Last night in lab (in a fundamentals student) a few of us got to try to this and I just wasn’t getting the hang of holding the syringe properly (admittedly there was a video I should’ve watched prior to class), I also locked two needles in a row (I’m not used to safety locks or needles in general). I’m glad you offer resources like this to help us sharpen our skills. It really helps to feel more competent.
