Subcutaneous injections involve injecting medication into the subcutaneous fat layer just below the dermis. Only small doses of water-soluble medications are given this way due to the tissue's sensitivity. Common sites for subcutaneous injections include the outer arm, back, abdomen, and thighs. The procedure involves preparing medications and supplies, positioning the patient, cleaning the injection site, quickly inserting the needle at a 45-90 degree angle, injecting the medication slowly, withdrawing the needle, and applying pressure. Potential complications include fat necrosis, erythema, abscess formation, cellulitis, and nodule formation.

Cannulation
A intravenous cannula is a flexible tube which when inserted
into the body is used either to withdraw fluid or insert
medication.
• IV Cannula normally comes with a trocar ( a sharp pointed
needle ) attached which allows puncture of the body to get
into the intended space.

SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION AS PER NABH PPT.pptxanjalatchi
A subcutaneous injection or shot is one into the fatty tissues just beneath the skin. These injections are shallower than those injected into muscle tissues. Providers often use subcutaneous injections for medications that must be absorbed into the bloodstream slowly and steadily, such as insulin.
Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle. In medicine, it is one of several methods for parenteral administration of medications. Intramuscular injection may be preferred because muscles have larger and more numerous blood vessels than subcutaneous tissue, leading to faster absorption than subcutaneous or intradermal injections. Medication administered via intramuscular injection is not subject to the first-pass metabolism effect which affects oral medications.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Subcutaneous injection:
Subcutaneous injection involves
injecting medication into the adipose
tissue (sub cutaneous layer of fat)
below dermis and above the muscle
tissue.
This tissue has few blood vessels, so
drug administered here have slow and
sustained absorption into the
capillaries.
4. Introduction contd…
Only small dose (0.5 ml to 1 ml) of
water soluble medications is given
subcutaneously because tissue is
sensitive to irritating solution and large
volume of medication
5. Common sites:
Outer aspect of upper arm.
Posterior chest wall below the
scapula.
Anterior abdominal wall.(2 inches
around the umbilicus)
Anterior and lateral aspects of thigh.
7. Articles
Medication cardex.
Medication tray
Kidney tray
Spirit swab
Sterile syringe and needle
Prescribed medications in ampule or
vial
Disposable gloves
Medicine cutter/ opener
Puncture proof container
8. Procedure
Check medication instructions.
Identify the patient carefully.
Explain procedure to the patient the drug
that is to be administer, site and how to
co-operate.
Wash hands
Set up medication tray with necessary
articles.
Assemble all articles including loaded
syringe near the patient bed side.
9. Contd..
Maintain privacy.
Help the patient to assume the position
depending upon the site selected.
-anterior thigh: sitting or lying down with
muscle relaxed
- Abdomen: patient should lie on semi
recumbent position.
-Scapular: patient may be prone, lateral
or sitting position.
-Outer aspect of upper arm: arm relaxed
at the side of the body
10. Contd..
Assess the area. Check for lumps,
nodules, tenderness, hardness,
swelling, scaring, itching, burning
sensation and localized inflammation
in the area.
Wear gloves
Clean the area around the injection
site with spirit swab. Use firm circular
motion while moving outward (about 5
cm in diameter).allow antiseptic to dry.
11. Contd..
Remove the needle cap with non-
dominant hand pulling it straight off.
Grasp and pinch the area around the
injection site (obese and normal
person) or spread skin at site( thin
person).
Hold the syringe in dominant hand
between thumb and fore finger. Inject
the needle quickly at an angle 45 to 90
degree.
12. Contd..
After insertion, release the tissue
immediately moves your non-dominant
hand to steady the lower end of the
syringe. Slide your dominant hand to top
of the barrel.
Aspirate by holding the barrel steady
with non-dominant hand. Withdraw the
needle if blood appears in the syringe,
discard and prepare new injection. Do
not aspirate heparin is anticoagulant and
causes bruising on aspiration.
13. Contd..
Inject medication slowly if no blood
appears.
Withdraw the needle quickly at the
same angle as it was inserted while
applying counter traction around the
injection site with non-dominant hand.
After withdrawing the needle apply
gentle pressure.
14. Contd..
Do not massage the heparin and
insulin injection site. Massaging
heparin site can lead to bruising.
Massaging insulin site can lead to
unpredictable absorption
15. Contd..
Assist the patient to comfortable
position.
Discard the syringe and the needle in
puncture proof container and discard
gloves and other soiled articles in an
appropriate container.
Wash hands.
Document the administration of
medication with date, time, route, sites
and nurse signature.
