Just curious as to what you guys do. I have never pinned myself before, but being in nursing school and having a cousin who juices, im wondering if you guys aspirate with steroids
 
Of course, you should always aspirate.

If not, injecting into the vein= 5-20minutes of feeling like theres a boulder on your chest.
 
the reason i asked is because in many hospitals, at least the main ones in houston, are now leaning towards not aspirating an IM injection, as it can "cause harm". this is in debate right now in the nursing field
 
I don't see how it would cause harm, i just tap it back slightly til i see a rise of a bubble, and then good to go.
 
how the f*ck can aspirating lightly cause harm? is this just a case of idiots being too ham-handed or something?
 
I gotta tell you....If I have 3cc in one syringe? I'll aspirate to begin with, then aspirate after each cc to see if I'm drawing back blood after each cc....sounds odd but why not? better safe than sorry. But to the point of the medical community saying aspirating is not safe or what have you, It is kind of an oddball thing to be doing, feels "wrong" pulling back like that....but its really the only way to find out if your in a vein, and I can't see any harm coming of it despite it being a strange practice....

ill talk to my instructors and get you an answer. they told us this before we started clinicals but really didnt say why
 
Your teachers are probably referring to vaccine injections.

This does not apply to the adminstration of medication via IM. Aspiration is a safety precaution that takes literally 2 seconds to do. As far as I know, there is no reason to just not do it. The CDC is only saying that it "might" not be needed due to the site of the injection (not that it is dangerous) but again it is a safety precaution so the question then becomes, why not just do it?
 
I'd appreciate it R1, I just hate when the medical community goes on something more akin to bro-science than actual science :D

nope. its not only vaccine, although i have heard that as well. its site dependent on an IM injection as it can "do more damage than good"
