FAQ
Administration Methods: An Injection uses a Syringe and Needle (Hypodermic Needles) to deliver medication quickly into a muscle (IM) or under the skin (SC). An Infusion uses an IV Cannula and an IV Set / Infusion Set to deliver fluids (NS, DNS, RL) or medication slowly and directly into the vein over a longer period, often requiring an IV Stand.
Needle Sizing & Safety: Needle size (gauge) and length depend entirely on the medication type, the injection site (e.g., subcutaneous vs. intramuscular), and the patient’s body mass. The gauge (e.g., for Insulin Pen Needles) is typically prescribed by a doctor to ensure the drug reaches the correct tissue layer. Never self-determine the needle size.
Infusion Fluids: The most common IV fluids include Normal Saline (NS), Dextrose Normal Saline (DNS), and Ringer’s Lactate (RL). These sterile Fluids must be stored at the temperature indicated on the packaging, away from direct sunlight, and must not be used if the seal is broken or the solution is cloudy.
Sterility & Procedure: Safety and sterility are critical. The necessary sterile products include the IV Cannula itself, Syringes, Hypodermic Needles, and Alcohol Swabs / Spirit Swabs to sterilize the insertion site. All components of the IV Set that contact the fluid or the vein must remain sterile until application.
Sharps Disposal & Hygiene: This is the most critical safety search. All used sharp items (Needles, Syringes, Insulin Pen Needles) must be immediately placed into a dedicated, rigid, puncture-proof container (Sharps Container or similar sealed plastic container). Never place loose sharps in the household trash. This adheres to Hygiene & Waste Management protocols.
Infusion Setup: An IV Stand is essential because gravity controls the flow rate of the Fluids into the IV Set. For home safety, look for stands that have a stable base (often multiple legs/wheels) to prevent tipping and adjustable height to ensure the fluid bag is positioned correctly above the patient’s heart.
