8 paź 2024 · In adults, the preferred sites for IM injection are the dorsogluteal region, which generally includes the gluteus maximus muscle, and the ventrogluteal region, which includes the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles (Kaya and Palloş 2012; Elgellaie, Ashcroft, and Larkin 2018).
23 sie 2019 · We aimed to compare intramuscular injection sites in the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis with those at the deltoid and ventrogluteal sites and identify safe intramuscular injection sites in the thigh.
The ventrogluteal site involves the gluteus medius and minimus muscles and is a safe injection site for adults and children. 5 This site provides the greatest thickness of gluteal muscle, is free of penetrating nerves and blood vessels, and has a narrower layer of fat.
Boyd et al. [4] found an IM injection success rate of only 52% in patients (n 115) undergoing treatment for carcinoid syndrome, evaluated by CT. The most common reason for misplaced injections was insufficient injection depth, which accounted for 36% of these cases.
19 maj 2024 · IM injection sites should be rotated to decrease the risk of hypertrophy. Older adults and thin patients may only tolerate up to 2 ml in a single injection. Choose a site that is free from pain, infection, abrasions, or necrosis. The dorsogluteal site should be avoided for intramuscular injections.
14 lip 2023 · Varying and fragmented information exists in research about what the most suitable injection sites are in adult. Ventrogluteal injection does not demonstrate more reliability than dorsogluteal in reach muscle tissue, but it does present fewer adverse effects: pain, bleeding and hematoma.
3 mar 2022 · The ultimate purpose of this study is to suggest the most suitable intramuscular injection site among the ventrogluteal and dorsogluteal regions. Eleven fresh cadavers were injected with colored gelatin using syringes at the two gluteal injection sites.
