Injection problems

[GearHeaded]

How do you aspirate if you're injecting in glutes? Do you hold the syringe between your index and middle finger and pull with the thumb and ring finger? I have yet to inject glutes. If I can't see what I'm going, it just doesn't feel right. I always look at the injection site when I'm sticking the needle in, and go slowly. My hand shakes as it is, without having to be in an awkward position.

modern day nursing manuals no longer teach aspiration. especially in common IM areas like glutes. its unnecessary.
perhaps in the biceps or front delts it makes some sense to aspirate (but nursing manuals don't teach biceps injections either)

I have never had any doctor or nurse asperate on any intramuscular injection.

I pin like a mofo and never asperate anywhere.
I actually dont give a shit if it hits a vein.

even if you tried to inject right into an inter muscular vein, you likely wouldn't be able to . the minute the oil starts coming out you would blow the vein back off. nicking a vein is a whole diff thing, happens all the time. no biggy

I am certain one time I shot a ml in a vein.
Thousands of pins, one time, and it wasnt that big of a deal.

Totally agree though even on a surface vein you have to be trying to keep an IV in a large vein.

I.e. this is why an iv is stuck in line with the vein at a slight angle. The odds of getting a little tiny vein in the muscle even with a slin pin are slim. Yet every newb shoots four times and goes "oh shit I hit a vein!"

No, you stabbed yourself right in the spagina.

I have never had this happen.
I pin a dozen places.
I think this is a psyche issue
