Definition of Injection
Injection is a sterile preparation in the
form of a solution, emulsion or suspension or
powder which must be dissolved or suspended
before use, which is injected by tearing the
tissue into the skin or through the skin or
mucous membranes

Injection Purpose
In general, injections are carried out with
the aim of accelerating the process of
absorption (absorption) of the drug to get the
effect of a fast drug.

 Indication

Injection is usually done on patients who

are unconscious and do not want to cooperate
because it is not possible to administer drugs
orally.
In addition, an indication of drug administration
by injection is also caused because there are
some drugs that stimulate or damage the
stomach sap (hormones), or are not re-absorbed
by the intestine.

 Various Types of Injection
1. subcutaneous (hypodermal).
Injection under the skin can be done only with drugs that
do not stimulate and dissolve in either water or oil
2. Intruding (= in the skin)
Nurses usually give intracutane injections for skin tests
3. Intramuscular (i.m),
The IM route allows for faster absorption of the drug than
the SC route because there are more blood vessels in the
muscle.

4. Intravenous (i.v),
Injections in blood vessels produce the fastest effect within 18
seconds, namely the time of one blood circulation, the drug
has spread to all tissues.
5. Intra arteries.
Injection to the arteries is sometimes done to "flood" an
organ, such as the liver, with drugs that are very quickly
activated or attached to tissue, such as the cancer drug
nitrogenmustard.

6. Intralumbal
(between the lumbar vertebrae), intraperitoneal (into the
lining of the stomach), intrapleural, intracardial, intra-articular
(into joint crevices) are some other injection ways to get the
drug directly into the desired place.

The things that need to be considered
in making an injection
• Types of syringes and needles used
• Types and doses of drugs injected
• Injection site
• Possible infections during injection
• Patient's condition / illness

 How to prevent infection during
injection
1. To prevent solution contamination, suck the
drug from the ampoule quickly.
2. To prevent needle contamination, prevent the
needle from touching the contaminated area
3. To prevent the syringe from being contaminated,
do not touch the suction body (plunger) or the
inside of the rubber (barrel).
4. dirty, drainage or feces with soap and water
then dry
