INJECTION
• It is an infusion method of putting fluid into the body, usually
with a syringe and a hollow needle which is pierced through
the skin to a sufficient depth for the material to be
administered into the body.
• Syringe – a device made of a hollow tube and a needle that is
used to force fluids into or take fluids out of the body
• Needle- larger the gauge smaller is the needle.
INTRADERMAL INJECTION
Indications:
• For diagnostic purposes (allergies and sensitivities to
drugs)
• For administering tuberculin testing
• Most commonly used site: Inner surface of the forearm
• Subscapular region of the back can be used as well as the
deltoid region.
• Intradermal literally means “between the skin layers”
and injection is administered just under the epidermis .
• Syringe is positioned at15˚ angle.
SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION
• Common sites used for SQ route:
– Outer aspect of the upper arm
– Abdomen(from below the costal margin
to the iliac crests)

Indications:
Used commonly for
insulin injections
Heparin
Filgrastim
Anti rabies
TECHNIQUE
Hold syringe in the dominant
hand between the thumb and
forefinger.
Inject the needle quickly at an
angle of 45 to 90 degree,
depending on the amount and
turgor of the tissue and the

denote the size of catheters. Each unit
is roughly equivalent to 0.33 mm in
diameter (that is, 18 Fr. indicates a
diameter of 6 mm). Catheters come in
several sizes:
a. Number 8 Fr. and 10 Fr. are
used for children.
b. Number 14 Fr. and 16 Fr. are
used for adults.
c. Number 20 Fr. and 22 Fr. are
usually used for adults with
gross hematuria.

ABDOMINAL PARACENTESIS
INDICATIONS
 For evaluation of new onset ascites.
 Testing of ascitic fluid.
 For evaluation of patient with ascitis
who has signs of clinical deterioration
like fever , abdominal pain,hepatic
encephalopathy , decreased renal
function n metabolic acidosis.
 Paracentesis can identify unexpected
diagnosis such as chylous,
hemorrhagic or esinophilic ascites
useful to know etiology n antibiotic
susceptibility.
Abdominal paracentesis is a bed side clinical procedure in which
needle is inserted into peritoneal cavity and ascitic fluid is removed.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Pt with DIC – risk is decreased by
administering platelets or FFPs.
• Primary fibrinolysis (pt with 3
dimensional bruises) treat with
aminocaproic acid or IV tranexamic
acid.
• Massive ileus with bowel
distension.
• Near the surgical scar bcoz scars
are asso. With tethering of bowel
to abd.wall n will cause bowel
perforation.
• Infections
PROCEDURE
CHOICE OF NEEDLE
• DIAGNOSTIC: 1.5 Inch, 22 Gauge needle
• THERAPEUTIC: 15/ 16 Gauge
POSITION
• Mostly Supine
• Head may be elevated
SITE
• Lt lower Quadrant (Dullness on percussion)
• 3cm medial & 3cm above the ant. Sup. Iliac spine
TECHNIQUE
• Choose the site & sterilise with Iodine or
Chlorhexidine and than pass the needle
tangentially, raising a wheal with
Lignocaine.
• “Z” track creates a non linear pathway
b/n Skin& Ascitic fluid & minimise the
chance of leakage.
INTRA PERITONEAL CHEMOTHERAPY
• Used in advanced ovarian tumor or where
disese is less than 1 cm .
• Taxane & platinum based chemotherapy
compounds are used.
• It can be deliverd by using portacath ,
grosshong catheter or single use percutaneous
catheter .
• Before IP therapy peritoneal cavity must be
drained as completely as possible .
PLEURAL FLUID ASPIRATION
INDICATIONS
• DIAGNOSTIC
• LARGE PLEURAL EFFUSION
• CARDIO RESPIRATORY
EMBARASSMENT
• INFECTED PLEURAL FLUID
• ACUTE PULMONARY EDEMA
• PERSISTENT PLEURAL EFFUSION
INSPITE OF ANTI TUBERCULOUS
TREATMENT .
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Local infection over proposed site of
thoracentesis (e.g. cellulitis, herpes zoster).
Select another entry site .
• Uncontrolled bleeding ,Coagulopathy is a
relative contraindication.
• Caution must be exerted when performing
thoracentesis in mechanically ventilated
patients. The positive pressure of the
ventilator may expand the lung to greater
than normal volumes, increasing the
potential risk of pneumothorax. Ultrasound-
guided thoracentesis is recommended in
this situation
• Defer thoracentesis in patients with severe
hemodynamic or respiratory compromise
until the underlying condition is stabilized
PROCEDURE
• POSITION : patient sit up against a
back rest or leans forward resting the
arms on the tip of a bed table.
• SITE : 7th or 8th intercostal space in
midaxillary or scapular line .The part is
prepared with cetavlon or iodine and
spirit .
• LOCAL ANAESTHETIC : skin ,
subcutaneous tissue and parietal
pleura are infiltrated with 2%
lignocaine .
• PUNCTURE: The aspiration needle is
introduced at right angles to the skin ,
midway between two rib near the
upper border of lower rib and
advanced till pleura is ruptured whih is
indicated by GIVE IN .
• The needle is now attached with 50 ml
syringe and two way stop cork and
about 500-1000ml of fluid is removed
at a time. Aspiration must be stopped
if patient coughs .

• Similar to tunneled catheter except access obtained
through s/c reservoir (port) which lies in a minor
surgically devised pocket
• Reservoir connected to tunneled catheter and tip
position at the junction of the superior vena cava and
the right atrium
The port reservoir is constructed from either plastic or
metal ( stainless steel or titanium)
Has a centrally positioned silicone diaphragm (septum)

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION)
Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a technique
of basic life support for the purpose of oxygenation
to the heart, lungs and brain until and unless the
appropriate medical treatment can come and
restore the normal cardiopulmonary function.
BASIC STEPS OF CAB
• C-COMPRESSION
• A-AIRWAY
• B-BREATHING
CHEST COMPRESSION
TECHNIQUE
• The palm of one hand is placed in the
concavity of the lower half of the
sternum 2 fingers above the xiphoid
process. (AVOID xiphisternal junction →
fracture & injury). The other hand is
placed over the hand on the sternum.
• Shoulders should be positioned directly
over the hands with the elbows locked
straight and arms extended. Use your
upper body weight to compress.
• Sternum must be depressed atleast 5
cm in adults, and 2-4 cm in children, 1-
2 cm in infants .
• Must be performed at a rate of 100-
120/min
• During CPR the ratio of chest
compressions to ventilation should be
as follows:
• Single rescuer = 30:2
• In the presence of 2 rescuers chest
compressions must not be interrupted
for ventilation
