The doctor told about the rules of self-injection

Self-administration of injections requires special attention. On March 23, Svetlana Burnatskaya, a general practitioner and occupational therapist at JSC "Medicine" (Academician Roitberg Clinic), told about this.

According to her, three basic rules can be deduced.: site selection, skin examination and insertion technique.

"The first is the choice of location. The upper outer quarter of the buttock is preferred. The alternative is the middle third of the anterolateral thigh surface. A needle is always inserted perpendicular into the buttock, into the thigh — at an angle of 90° or slightly at an angle if the subcutaneous layer is pronounced," Burnatskaya emphasized in an interview with <url>.

The second is a skin examination. It is important to understand if there are any pathologies at the future injection site. The third is the injection of the drug under the skin.

"Type in the drug, lift the syringe with the needle up, tap on the body. Slowly move the plunger until a drop of solution appears on the tip of the needle. If you inject yourself: then lie down or lean back so that the muscle is relaxed. Insert the needle 3/4 of the way in a sharp motion. Slowly depress the plunger. Quickly remove the needle and press the alcohol swab. To the other, fix the skin with the fingers of your free hand, stretching it (for thin people, collect the fold)," the doctor said.

It is also important to stop the administration of the drug in case of a "bullet" in the leg or severe pain. Perhaps the game has touched a nerve.

Alexander Grigoriev, an assistant at the Department of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Military Field Surgery at Pirogov University, said on March 22 that with the onset of the warm season, many people install trampolines in their areas, but such entertainment often ends with injuries. The main reasons for the increased risk of injury to domestic trampolines are the lack of adult control, the unequipped area around the trampoline, and children falling out of it.
