5 reasons to entrust the performance of injections to professionals

Perhaps the most common medical manipulation that no one has ever managed to avoid is a shot or, scientifically speaking, an "injection". In addition, from childhood we form the association "medical institution = injections". Unfortunately, it is often the case that children's fear of this procedure discourages us from treatment and makes us delay going to the hospital until the last minute. Therefore, in the private medical sector, there is a need to provide this kind of service, taking into account all the needs and wishes of patients.  In 2015, intramuscular and intravenous injections and infusions ("systems") services were introduced in the treatment rooms of the OLYMP CDL of Astana city to enable every resident of the capital to receive qualified medical assistance in their neighbourhood.

In our article we will tell you what criteria intravenous and intramuscular injections should meet and why it is important to entrust their performance only to professionals.

So, what should be the conditions for performing any injections?

1. Technically correct

Any medical procedure has its own strict algorithm of execution. The algorithm of even a simple intramuscular injection consists of 13 points! Strict adherence to all these points not only minimises pain and eliminates the risk of complications, but also contributes to a comfortable patient experience. Knowledge and, most importantly, adherence to the algorithm should be regularly checked by management.

2. Sterile

Injections are procedures that can have delayed complications of an inflammatory nature. For example, phlegmons or abscesses. This is mainly due to non-compliance with the rules of asepsis and antisepsis, because even the direction in which the skin area is treated with alcohol before injection plays an important role. Full compliance with the rules of asepsis and antisepsis is a basic law of medicine! This law applies both to the injections themselves and to the conditions of the room in which the manipulation is carried out.

3. Aesthetical

Intravenous injections are followed by a kind of "bruises" (haematomas), the appearance of which cannot be called "aesthetically pleasing". As a rule, such haematomas can remain on the body for up to 10 days. This problem is particularly acute for working people during periods of warm weather, when the sites of intravenous injections are in full view. This once again attracts the attention of others and is a cause for discussion. There are different ways to avoid this problem, for example, OLYMP CDL uses patented Japanese systems "Anti-bruising", which significantly reduce the probability of bruising.

4. Comfortable

Specific hospital odour, indifferent faces of tired medical staff, long queues, stuffy corridors... all of this should be a thing of the past and should not be encountered in the realities of modern medicine. Conditions for the patient should be as comfortable as possible. And comfort should be in everything: starting from a friendly smile of the staff at the "reception", comfortable elbow pads and soft cloth tourniquet, and ending with a wish of "good health" after the end of the procedure.

5. Safe

In very rare cases, the patient may react to the injection in a life-threatening way, such as collapse or coma. This is why any treatment room should be equipped with specialised emergency equipment and staff should have the skills to provide immediate assistance to the patient in such a situation. The nurse's preparedness for an extreme situation should be systematically reviewed by superiors. These conditions can develop as a result of an allergic reaction. Allergy is a variant of a complication following the administration of drugs or as a result of the use of allergenic consumables. To avoid allergic reactions, allergy testing is required before the first injection and the use of hypoallergenic consumables for post-injection skin treatment.
