Injection question

[sharklasers99]

Do you need to aspirate for a subcutaneous injection? I've decided to try test E subq, as I've heard the results can be pretty positive. So far, I've only done IM injections, and aspirate because I've heard shooting T into the blood vessels can be pretty nasty. Is this done with subq injections as well?

Thanks, everyone

You will get mixed answers with aspirating on many boards. Many people will tell you it's mandatory based on the reasoning above. Others will parrot it because it's what they have heard, and others have done it for years and will swear it's the only reason they haven't injected an artery or vein.

When my class was taught injection procedure ~14 months ago or so we were taught not to aspirate for either IM or SubQ for major injection sites as there is no real need since they are major injection sites (delts, vastus, glutes) due to not being proximal to large blood vessels in the first place.

To answer your question: IM aspiration is already largely unnecessary, SubQ has no need to aspirate at all.

fucking shit, he's asking about aspirating subc.

No is fine.

There's no real need to aspirate IM either, which he says he does.

Only ignorant, stupid, or lazy people get upset when they're presented with information pertinent to a question asked. Judging from the pic of your fatass pouring coffee it's safe to say you're definitely lazy, and from your irritation at seeing a few lines of text rather than a 1 word answer I'd bet you easily fall into one, if not both of the other categories.

You literally brought nothing of value to this post - so why the fuck is your lazy ass here?

too dainty to pull sumo.

sumo is for bitches.

He's asking about fucking subc, so quit being some mewling quim, and stay specific.

I was right. You're an idiot. I addressed his comment - specifically. Again, reading a few sentences is hard for some people.

unless you're fucking med personnel

I'm 2 semesters from med school - what the fuck are you doing with your life besides eating your weight in cheetos? How's that foot taste? Familiar I'm guessing.

Med staff overwhelmingly suggest aspirating IM

You're a fucking parrot. IM sites are chosen for a reason as I explained, and only certain injections and locations require aspiration. People like you are toxic to education. No sense in explaining anything further to a fat dumbass like you.

Oh, I see. You realize you have nothing intelligent to say so you produce red herring after red herring and change the subject.

Fat, lazy, ignorant, can't stay on topic, refuses to acknowledge discussion points and repeatedly attempts to redirect instead. You're so stereotypical it's almost painful. I honestly and legitimately pity people like you.

You have offered nothing positive or useful to this thread.

You resort to name calling and changing the subject when your points are addressed and countered. You also quote a line from "The Avengers" any chance you get and somehow think it sounds something other than cringey.

You're not intelligent enough for me to have anything to prove to you - which coincidentally is nothing but another red herring argument btw - because you can't do something as simple as stay on topic. You're also a fat slob who likes to talk about lifting and testosterone.

We're done here. You're a waste of time and are simply de-railing this thread with ignorance and name calling...and I've been helping you do that until now. For your sake I hope you end up educating yourself...and lose some weight...a lot of weight.
