After approval of the proposal by ethics committee and obtaining the informed consent this semi experimental complete crossover study designed and was performed on 58 patients who received subcutaneous heparin injection (5000 Iu subcutaneous) in randomly ordered sites (abdomen, arm, thigh) with a 12...
Heparin is injected just under the skin, into the subcutaneous layer of fat. The easiest way to do this is to pinch up a fold of skin using your thumb and forefinger if you are injecting into your stomach or thigh, or use your knee to create a pinched up area if you are injecting ...
Administer the heparin by deep subcutaneous (intrafat, i.e., above the iliac crest or abdominal fat layer, arm, or thigh) injection with a fine (25 to 26-gauge) needle to minimize tissue trauma. 2.7 Blood Transfusion Add 450 to 600 USP units of heparin sodium per 100 mL of whole ...
Before the operation, blood was collected from the subcutaneous vein of the medial forelimb, and the blood biochemistry was tested. First, the abdomen was barbered and disinfected. Then, the abdominal skin was sliced open with an electrosurgical knife. The gallbladder and common bile duct were ...

The mean size of the ecchymoses for the sites where the needle was changed was 5.16 mm, and the mean size of the ecchymoses for the sites where the needle was not changed was 5.44 mm (P = .87). CONCLUSION: Changing the needle before the administration of subcutaneous heparin did not...
