Intradermal
An intradermal injection involves inserting medication into the dermis where absorption is slow. It is used for sensitivity tests, vaccinations like BCG, and diagnostic tests. The inner forearm and deltoid region are common sites. Materials needed include a tuberculin syringe, alcohol swab, gloves, and tray. Proper steps include preparing the site, inserting the needle at a 15 degree angle, injecting slowly, withdrawing, observing for reactions, and documenting.
