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

[@evan-hv4ui]

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

[@tomasdahuabe]

At this rate we'll be performing our own self eye laser surgeries

[@Shredforlife123]

You're welcome!

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

[@user-jv7ti7ut7z]

What is aspiration

[@JenniferHannan]

pulling back on the plunger to make sure u aren’t in a blood vessel

[@Ved_74]

Z technique Aspiration to check vessels

[@sumansutradhar1316]

Hi, Thank you for the information. I would like to ask, Why is not recommended to aspirate when giving the vaccination?

[@GabiTantw]

The CDC wishes to provide protection to Pfyzer for the number of injuries reported.

[@BlessedLeviate]

Awesome

[@MohammedIbrahim-uc2nf]

Thank you very much for the video with kindness and respect

[@lecturionursing]

Our pleasure!

[@721M85SS]

Lily Rose said: 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.

[@theleefamilylife5485]

It is not recommended to aspirate for IM injections now.

[@hoppinglark]

I think it is specific to the deltoid. ACIP states not aspirate when giving vaccines into the deltoid.

[@GabiTantw]

Because they need protection from vaccine injection injuries. Simply amazing.@@theleefamilylife5485

[@moirawright327]

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.

[@ale189251]

Ye she probably hit a nerve. And did it to high up. It will heal eventually.

[@ruthwhite3938]

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.

[@lecturionursing]

You're correct that using a circular motion to clean, especially when you move from the center out and then back in, can potentially spread dirt or contaminants from the outer edges back towards the center. However, the effectiveness of cleaning in a circular motion depends on various factors, including the type of surface, the cleaning method, and the cleaning agent being used. In some cases, circular motions can be effective for removing dirt and stains, especially on relatively smooth surfaces. The circular motion helps agitate and lift particles, making it easier to wipe or rinse them away.

[@PetersBanda-nk6gq]

Nice

[@MauiXoXo]

Aren't you going to do z track method???

[@erhanstranger3004]

that's what I think about

[@bossbabe9643]

I don’t think it’s a really great video. I was wondering the same thing. I also noticed she didn’t wipe the area properly she brought back the germs to the center. And for teaching she should’ve put the used needle in the sharps container right away. I liked the deltoid injection thou

[@aspreckley1]

Where’s the sharps bin ?

[@user-zd7ih4kv4u]

We are need anther mouthed of I.m indaction such as thigh

[@lecturionursing]

I'll pass that long to our content team for future ideas!

[@divinekitiibwa8831]

you forgot to z-track before giving the injection.

[@user-jv7ti7ut7z]

What is aspiration

[@trainhardsweat1571]

Has anyone tried this not being a nurse or doctor, is it easy to do

[@tomasdahuabe]

It's not a hard thing to do, it just requires you to be confident about it and making sure the person you're applying it to is calm and doesn't make something stupid during the injection. Tell the person not to move even if somehow they manage to feel pain, it seems obvious but I think it's worth mentioning, one time my dad suddenly moved his arm away from my hands and ruining a an entire flu vaccine because he overreacted.

[@hoppinglark]

5:22 no aspiration, this is up-to-date

[@thirdy2656]

How about Intradermal and subcutaneous? Thanks

[@thirdy2656]

Thank you so much for posting the subcutaneous injection 💖 I really appreciate it because it will serve as my guide. I'm grateful that i subscribe the right KZbin channel 🙌

[@lecturionursing]

we have subcutaneous injection tutorials in this playlist as well!

[@thirdy2656]

Update: I'm really grateful for your videos because i got 97% in our return demonstration about intramuscular injection 🙌Thank you professors! Stay safe and God bless!

[@bottles-updivingej5041]

Your point 8 ASPIRATION- please mention this clearly...you are not talking about ths at all - its only mentioned as point 8 on the piece of paper..not very clear!

[@huskymom234]

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

[@ronaldmoore6619]

Nope

[@lecturionursing]

we touched on this in the video, but it is often not recommended!

[@justinx8935]

you dont aspirate IM, what the fuck you gonna pull back, a nerve? lmao

[@lisagiordano2875]

Agreed! Additionally, when cleaning the area she DID go circularly from the inside out, then washed over the inside again with the "now dirty" alcohol. Then, no aspiration and then no massage afterwards. Did things change since I graduated?

[@muthammasrinivas5986]

Yes withdrawal is important to check

[@LilaBukvic]

To much information. Give just in some short words shorts instruction😢 Why no aspirations?

[@bradcobb3418]

no aspiration...FAIL!

[@mrg824]

i saw a lot of mistakes in your videos.

[@stevejohnson9283]

Appalling. No aspiration. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

[@cecedixon9377]

It is not recommended to aspirate IM injections anymore, so nothing she did was appalling, dangerous or unacceptable. Shame on you.

[@cheetooreo6636]

She explains why aspiration is not recommended for IM injections nowadays. See from 9:34

[@LisaValentine1]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) no longer recommends aspiration before intramuscular (IM) injections. Aspiration, which involves pulling back on the plunger, was previously standard practice but is no longer recommended for several reasons: The injection site doesn't contain large blood vessels that could be a risk of intravascular injection Aspiration can be painful There's no scientific evidence to support aspiration Auto-disable syringes, which usually don't allow aspiration, don't seem to increase adverse events

[@stevejohnson9283]

OMG No aspiration. Danger danger. This is completely amateurish.

[@MohammedIbrahim-uc2nf]

I appreciate your professional skills and kindness sharing the video with kindness and respect

I appreciate that!
