	Intramuscular Injection Information on Healthline
		Intramuscular injection is used for the delivery of certain drugs not recommended for other routes of administration, for instance intravenous, oral, or subcutaneous.
		The intramuscular route should not be used in cases where muscle size and condition is not adequate to support sufficient uptake of the drug.
		Intramuscular injection should be avoided if other routes of administration, especially oral, can be used to provide a comparable level of absorption and effect in any given individual's situation and condition.

		Subcutaneous - Subcutaneous injections are administered through a shorter (usually ½ inch) needle that delivers medication to the tissue just under the skin, usually through the back of the arm, abdomen or top of the thigh.
		Intramuscular - Intramuscular injections require the use of a longer (1-2 inch) needle that de-livers medication deep into muscle tissue.
		While this guide is designed to take you step-by-step through the entire injection process, please be sure to consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns relating to this or any other aspect of your treatment.

	eMJA: Optimal technique for intramuscular injection of infants and toddlers: a randomised trial
		The WHO technique appears to be the optimal technique for anterolateral thigh injection in children — it ensures that the injection is intramuscular, results in fewer adverse reactions, and is the easiest technique to perform as it does not require angling of the needle to the long axis of the femur.
		The injections using the Australian and US techniques were made with 23 gauge, 25 mm long needles, and the WHO technique injections were made with a 25 gauge, 16 mm long needle.
		The WHO technique best fulfils the requirements of an optimal injection technique in children — it ensures that the injection is intramuscular, results in fewer adverse reactions, and is the easiest technique to perform, as it does not require angling of the needle to the long axis of the femur.

		Deltoid muscle injection in this age group may prevent pain that is associated with walking after a vastus lateralis injection.
		A needle used to pierce a rubber stopper or ampoule may be used for subsequent injection, but if it has become blunt or bent should be replaced with a needle of the same size.
		The anterolateral aspect of the middle third is where the belly of the vastus lateralis muscle lies, and the injection site is in the middle of this area, as shown.

	bmj.com Rapid Responses for Nisbet, 332 (7542) 637-638
		Dr Nisbet's study of intramuscular injection in the increasingly obese clearly neglects one of medicine's perennial truisms: namely "There is nothing that can't be done with a strong arm and a green needle".
		It was found that the probability of unsuccessful intramuscular injection correlated with increased body mass index but also that in patients with normal body mass indices (especially females) there was a significant rate of unsuccessful intramuscular injection.
		As many drugs are administered via the intramuscular injection in to the buttock consideration must be given to the efficacy of drug delivery and hence drug distribution even in patients with body mass indices within the normal limits.

		Intramuscular injections are the most common type used in horses and are the focus of this circular.
		To thoroughly clean the injection site, the horse's hair must be shaved, the area scrubbed with an antiseptic soap which must remain in contact with the skin for at least 2 minutes, and then rinsed with alcohol.
		The proper location of this injection site is the intersection of a line between the tail head and point of hip and a line between the top of the croup and the point of the buttocks.

	Indian Pediatrics - Editorial
		Intramuscular injections (IM) are a common yet complex technique used to deliver medication deep into the large muscles of the body(l).
		According to WHO, intramuscular injection is an administration of medications parenterally through a skin puncture by a syringe and a needle deep into a large muscle of the body for prophylactic or curative purposes(3).
		Injections are given in an area lateral and superior to this imaginary line and most of the time the injection would be into either the upper outer mass of the gluteus maximus or into the gluteus medius.

		Maximal dosing of intramuscular olanzapine (ie, three 10 mg doses administered 2 to 4 hours apart) may be associated with an increased risk of orthostatic hypotension.
		It is recommended that patients requiring subsequent intramuscular injections be assessed for orthostatic hypotension prior to the administration of any subsequent doses of intramuscular olanzapine for injection.
		Four fixed intramuscular olanzapine doses (2.5 milligrams (mg), 5 mg, 7.5 mg and 10 mg) were evaluated and all doses were significantly better as compared with placebo on the PANSS Excited Component at 2 hours post-injection.

		The group that received intramuscular injections reported less pain overall, according to one of three pain-assessment scales, and had more relief of pain over-all and on the first postoperative day, according to another scale.
		There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to the rate of complications, the arterial oxygen saturation levels during the first twenty-four hours after the operation, or the length of stay in the hospital.
		The average cost per patient was $58.58 for the patient-administered analgesia and $22.45 for the intramuscular injections.

	Naked Plasmid DNA Injection (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Multiple injections of plasmid DNA improve the overall expression obtained from a single muscle, but following a single injection transgene expression is observed in less than 1% of the total myofibers.
		It has been postulated that both the age and species related differences are due to variability in the connective tissue barriers present in muscles of different age or species.
		The greatest advantages of intramuscular plasmid DNA injection are its simplicity and the fact that plasmids ranging in size from 2-19 kilobases have been successfully used to transfer genes to muscle.

	Injections of Koi
		One group of experts feel that intramuscular injection is not only the preferred route of administration but rather the only route of administration that should be attempted for a variety of reasons.
		Another is that you should never attempt an IP injection without first anesthetizing the fish and that has its own risks to the fish, unlike an IM injection that may be accomplished without anesthesia.
		In this case, a longer needle angle may be needed to avoid intramuscular injection in the body wall, because this will result in a lesion forming at the site of injection.

		In this case series from a private pain practice, a robust face, head, and, neck pain inhibitory response is described that occurs when local anesthetic is injected into the lower cervical spine paravertebral musculature approximately 1 to 2 inches lateral to the 7th cervical spinous process.
		Although cervical trigger point intramuscular injections are commonly used to relieve localized neck pain, the regional head pain relief from lower cervical paravertebral injections described in this paper has not been previously reported.
		In addition to rapid relief of palpable scalp or facial tenderness (mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia pain), this lower cervical intramuscular injection technique also alleviated associated symptoms of nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia in patients with neurovascular headaches.
