"According to the CDC, aspiration is not indicated for IM injections of vaccines and immunizations, nor is it required for subcutaneous injections of immunizations, heparin, and insulin. However, it may be indicated for IM injections of medications such as PCN."
I learned that you don't necessarily need to aspirate with Sub Q injections because there are only very thin and tiny capillaries in the subcutaneous fat tissue and therefore won't be affected in any way. You can aspirate if you really feel inclined to but just know that it isn't necessary. Oh and yes, she really does need to mention that the bevel should be up. It's key!!!
Do you have to do anything dif when you self administer? I am traveling for the next few months and have to inject my subcut. shot by myself for the first time. I have done it to other people and animals in the past but never had to do it to myself. I am a little nervous about doing it wrong.
I have been a nurse for 30 years and have two insulin dependent children, I have given thousands of injections and have never seen a subq injection given in an upward motion like this in the arm!
And don't forget, if it's insulin or blood thinner, do not rub the injection site.
My clinical teacher told me not to inject slowly due to it causing pain 🤷♀️

I can never figure out where to put the band-aid

You don't need to apply pressure as you withdraw the needle. That hurts! You won't bleed to death.

Asperation is an old concept and only for IM
Anyone else watching this to try get over there fear of needles?
I didn’t see aspiration, what if the needle was into blood vessel?
Thanks, appropriate it's B12 as doctors in UK seem unwilling to increase frequency of (the cheap) B12 which makes so much difference to PA sufferers.
