The article discusses the importance of the choice of length of needles for deltoid intramuscular (IM) injections for patient comfort. Particular focus is given to the relation of vaccine injection technique and reactogenicity to incorrect needle-length selection in obese people in the U.S. The ...
more rapid absorption of the injected drug into the CVS than is seen with any of the other IM injection sites. Perfusion is 20% greater in the deltoid region than in the gluteal region.15The deltoid region is not recommended for use in the infant or child who has not yet begun to walk...
IM injection at the deltoid muscle is common practice. It is performed blindly according to anatomical landmarks without imaging verification of needle tip position; therefore, it is unclear what percentage of injections are indeed IM. Current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) practice guidelines for...
Safe site for injectionIt is becoming increasingly important for clinicians to identify a safer intramuscular (IM) injection site in the deltoid muscle because of possible complications following the vaccine administration of IM injections. We herein examined four original IM sites located on the ...
Administration of drugs to the deltoid muscle resulted in a more rapid onset and increased effect of immobilisation than administration to the gluteus muscle. Both in veterinary and human medicine, injection to the deltoid muscle may be more convenient in all cases, when rapid and more prominent ...

The same was true comparing injection responders (0.46±0.49mm) with controls, p =0.41. On static views, greater bursal fluid thickness was found in patients (1.01±0.48mm) compared with controls (0.67±0.32mm) when using the short axis view of the supraspinatus, p =0.006. No statistically ...
