The assessment of distances of intramuscular injection location from some landmarks in the students of Muğla School of Health Sciences

Amaç. Bu çalışma klinik uygulamada kas içi enjeksiyon uygulayıcıları için kafa karıştırcı birkonudur. Bu durumun doğru değerlendirilmesi muhtemel komplikasyonlar için önemlidir.Enjeksiyon bölgesinin mesafesini değerlendiren literatürde herhangi bir araştırma yoktur.buçalışma bu bölgeleri daha doğru bir şekilde belirlemek için gerçekleştirildi. İntarmuskülerenjeksiyon yaygın bir hemşirelik uygulamasıdır. Temel bir teknik olarak düşünülmesine rağmenzarar vermektedir. Gluteal bölge kasları pratikte en yaygın kullanılan bölgedir ve gerekli tedbirleralınmalıdır. Yöntem. Mugla Üniversitesi saglık yüksek okulunun hemşirelik, fizyoterapi verehabilitasyon bölümünden kadın ve erkek toplam 216 öğrenci rastgele seçildi ve çalışmaya dahiledildi. Bulgular. Bu çalışmada intramusküler enjeksiyonun bayanlarda en üst noktadan 2,28±1,01cm ve erkeklerde 1,87±0,63 cm aşagısı olduğunu bulduk. Sonuç. Bu araştırma intramuskülerenjeksiyon yeri için sınırlı bir çalışmadır. Bu mesafelerin normal vücut indeksine sahip ve 17-29yaş arası hasta populasyonunda klinik pratikte çok değişken olacağını düşündük. Bu çalışmanormal vücut kitle endeksine sahip hastalar için bir norm olacak.

İntramusküler Enj eksiyon yerlerinin değerlendirilmesi

Aim. This subject is a confusing matter for intramuscular injection administrators in clinicalpractice. The correct assessment of this situation is important for probable complications. Thereisn t any research in the literature that assesses the distances of the injection area to somelandmarks. This study was carried out to determine these regions moreaccurately.Introduction.Intramuscular injection is a commonplace nursing procedure. Althoughconsidered a basic technique, it is far from innocuous. Gluteal region muscles are the mostcommonly used region in the practice and the necessary precautions must be taken. Method. Atotal of 216 male and female students, from University of Muğla School of Health Sciences,Nursing and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Departments were randomly selected and includedto the study. Results. In this study we found that intramuscular injection location in males is1.87±0.63 cm and in females 2.28±1.01 cm from the upper point. Conclusion. The research basefor intramuscular injection site is limited. We think that these distances will be very valuable inclinical practice in the patient population consisting of 17-29 years of age and who have normalbody mass index. This study will be a norm for patients who have a normal body mass index.
