| | Diabetes Care: Short Needles (8 mm) Reduce the Risk of Intramu... @ HighBeam Research |
 | | The efficiency of 8-mm needles was defined as the association in the same child of an intramuscular injection with the 12.7-mm needle and a subcutaneous injection with the 8-mm needle. | | | The efficiency of 8-mm needles, as defined by an intramuscular injection with a 12.7-mm needle and a subcutaneous injection with an 8-mm needle, was found for half of the children who injected in the arm and for two-thirds of the children who injected in the thigh. | | | The percentage of patients with intramuscular injections when using 12.7- and 8-mm needles was assessed according to the ultrasound measurements of SQT thickness in three classes by using needle length as a reference. |

| | INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION MECHANICS: DOES EXPERIENCE IMPROVE TECHNIQUE? |
| | Based on tissue structure, pain associated with IM injections is probably related to three factors: needle puncture of the skin, penetration of the needle through skin and muscle, and pulling/tearing of the skin and/or muscle tissues as the needle moves non-linearly with some curvature in its penetration path. | | | Injection technique is often described as a dart-like motion (Beyea et al., 1995; Hahn, 1990) but little other kinematic description is given to students learning the procedure (for example, Potter et al., 1993). | | | While the factors associated with pain during IM injections have not been thoroughly studied, a theoretical explanation of such pain can be easily formulated based on skin and muscle tissue structure. |

| | According to WHO, intramuscular injection is an administration of medications parenterally through a skin puncture by a syringe and a needle deep into a large muscle of the body for prophylactic or curative purposes(3). | | | It has been found that techniques used by nurses in giving IM injections were "little more than a ritualistic practice, one based on tradition, which passes from one nurse to another and from one generation to the next". | | | Administration of medication to maximize the therapeutic effect for the patient and minimize or eliminate patient injury and discomfort associated with procedure. |
