Hypodermic Injection FAQ
What is the most critical step before giving a hypodermic injection?
The most critical step is proper hand hygiene and confirming the correct medication and dosage. In an emergency, quickly verify the vial label and ensure the solution is clear and uncontaminated. Using a trusted device like a Greatcare syringe with clear markings significantly reduces dosage errors.
How do I manage an accidental needlestick injury during a stressful emergency?
Immediately encourage bleeding from the wound by gently squeezing it. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and running water. Follow your organization's protocol for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and report the incident immediately to the relevant health authority or supervisor. The integrated safety shield in Greatcare syringes is designed specifically to mitigate this risk.
Can any hypodermic syringe be used for all types of emergency medications?
No, different medications have different viscosities and injection requirements. For instance, a thicker medication like diazepam may require a wider gauge needle (e.g., 21G-23G), whereas a standard Greatcare 25G-29G syringe is ideal for most common emergency drugs like epinephrine or naloxone. Always check the medication guidelines for the recommended syringe and needle specifications.
