“…A study of MRI deltoid fat pads by Lippert found that with using 5/8-inch, 7/8-inch, or 1-inch needles for intramuscular deltoid injections would cause 11% (16 of 150), 55% (83 of 150), and 61% (92 of 150) of patients to experience overpenetration, respectively. 6 Based on Lippert's study, corroborated by an ultrasonographic study of deltoids by Koster 7 and…”

“…Bununla birlikte, enjeksiyonu uygulamadan önce uygulama alanının seçimi, enjekte edilecek ilaç miktarı ve iğne uzunluğu önceden belirlenmelidir. 3,8 Ayrıca, literatürde IM enjeksiyon uygulamasında çocuğun cinsiyeti, beden kitle indeksi, kas dokusu ve subkütan yağ dokusunun değerlendirilmesinin de önemli olduğu belirtilmektedir. 1,2,9 Çalışmalarda, hemşirelerin meslekleriyle ilgili profesyonel kuruluşların güncel önerilerin-den haberdar olmadığı ve temel hemşirelik eğitiminde öğretilen uygulamalara devam edildiği belirtilmektedir.…”

“…8 Çocukluk döneminde obezite oranı giderek artmasına karşın, hâlen kilolu çocuklar için iğne uzunluğunu belirten net veri yoktur. CDC vücut kitlesinin rolünü tanımlayarak, bazı obez adolesanlarda kas dokusuna ulaşabilmek için 38 mm (1,5-inch) iğne uzunluğu gerektiğini belirtmiştir.…”

“…In children, bunching the skin while using a 16mm needle will result in a SC injection, whereas if the skin is stretched, a 16mm needle allows IM delivery of the medication (Groswasser et al, 1997, Nicoll & Hesby, 2002. Other factors influencing the injection with a 16 mm needle are obesity (which thickens SC tissue) and whether the needle is inserted fully or if a few millimeters are left outside the skin (Koster, Stellato, Kohn, & Rubin, 2009). Even though these recommendations exist for children and adolescents, there are few recommendations regarding bunching-versus-stretching for adult IM deltoid injections (Chan, Colville, Persaud, Buckley, Hamilton, … & Modern Lymphnode Imaging, 2006).…”
