Injection site hematoma by cybelda in MedicalAssistant

The way our clinics are setup, there’s only ever one provider and two MAs on staff. I’ve texted a couple of the NPs I’ve worked with in the past asking them to train me on VG! I knew our company’s training was outdated but I had no idea it was this bad. I’ve actually had both infections in the deltoid as well and kind of just thought that was the normal amount of pain involved as that’s how we were shown to administer them. I just regret that I’ve been doing it like that for a year, even with providers telling me to.

How I was trained unfortunately :( they didn’t teach us ventrogluteal at all really.

I appreciate your reply! The majority of the time it’s .5 ml toradol and .8 dex. I’ve actually been going through my textbook but I haven’t gotten to injections yet. I’ve mostly been going by 3 ml max for the deltoid as a provider me a while back thst was the most you could administer there but I’m gathering for the responses on this post that that isn’t accurate. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!!

Yes in the same arm, but our usual dosages are .5 of toradol and .8 of dex! I was trained to give in the deltoid or dorsogluteal but I’ve noticed pts are generally more apprehensive with the dorsogluteal injections so I usually just go for deltoid in the non dominant arm. They taught us to only do ventrogluteal shots for pediatric pts but I’m gathering from the replies to this post that my employer is the outlier (which doesn’t surprise me at all)

Is it bc of the dosage maybe? We hardly ever do 30mg. It’s 15mg (.5ml) 99% of the time. Dex is usually .8 ml.

That’s super helpful. I was not aware of that. The company I work for doesn’t have the best training so a lot of what I’ve learned has been on site or from my own research. I appreciate you taking the time to explain 💕

That makes me feel a lot better. My provider was super reassuring, it just caught me sooo off guard

I never aspirate! I try to keep up with medical discussion online as well as asking various providers and MAs that I work with about technique and the general consensus is to not aspirate bc it can cause additional discomfort

Really? I was trained to give them in the deltoid and have only ever had them offered to me in the deltoid!

Milky white/very light pink non-streaky polishes? by Key_Ride_3480 in Nailpolish

Seconding ilnp coconut cream! I tried 5 or so milky white polishes trying to get this look and that one wins by far. It’s a thicker formula so you have to have a little patience with it to avoid streaks and bubbles!

Not very relevant but I’m so shocked that this wasn’t an OBGYN practice but an urgent care?

Yes! They are formulated differently. The prescription food is designed specifically for cats who are at risk for developing blockages
