I used this video to safely give myself an intramuscular injection. Best video on the subject on YouTube. 10/10

Aspiration isn't necessary in the deltoid, there are no major blood vessels in that location, so aspiration in that area just causes more discomfort for the patient

I appreciate for all of your videos in this Chanel and promise to follow your instructions.

As a registered nurse we were trained to aspirate when giving IM injection the rationale behind is to ensure that the needle hits the muscle not a blood vessel no matter how small.The only way of knowing this is through aspiration....so i do not understand why they refuse to aspirate.

[DeniSoars]

As a nurse, yes we hardly use the z track method. I appreciate the real world nurse teaching here!

When you use a circular motion to clean and go from in to out and back again isn't that bringing "dirt" back into the innermost part of the circle? Thsts what I see happening.

Been having these for 8 years yesterday the nurse was being advised (trained ) on how to administrator the b12 in all of the of the 8years of having these this is only the 2nd time I have felt really bad pain in the muscle first time it was given by a doctor subsequent ones have all been by nurses and I often thought they were not putting it in the muscle as I felt no sensation not even the prick of the needle , the one done yesterday had me gasping as the pain shot right up my neck The supervisor told me to move my arm to loosen the muscle ? today my arm still feels as though It's been bruised inside and during the night had to massage it just feel she put the needle too high up into my shoulder and hope this will not interfere with effect of the vitamin or anything else.

[huskymom]

What about aspiration? Always aspirate to be sure there is no inadvertent intravascular administration of substances. Recent Danish studies have added aspiration to protocol. Particularly in vaccine administration studies show that there is an crease in clothing side effects after IV administration of substance (mouse studies) Please reference Dr. John Campbell, , PhD in Nursing

[MohammedIbrahim-ucnf]

Thank you very much for the video with kindness and respect
