Answer 6c
Answer 6c
Which injection site is now the preferred option for deep I/M injection?
VENTROGLUTEAL SITE
This is a safer option which accesses the gluteus medius muscle. It
avoids all major nerves and blood vessels, and research reports no
contraindications. The area also has the benefit of having a relatively
consistent thickness of adipose tissue (3.75cm) compared with 1-9cm
on the dorsogluteal site.
The patient can be prone, semi-prone or supine for using this injection
site.
