Nyxes to children

Often parents find themselves in such a situation, when it is necessary to urgently make an intramuscular injection by themselves. This is a fairly simple procedure, but it needs to be prepared in advance, so as not to get lost at the most crucial moment. Well, if one of the parents has at least some experience in this matter and they have already injected adults.

In case the mother or dad categorically refuses to do pain to her baby, it is better to refuse this idea, in such condition the adult can do much harm to the child. The injections, which will be discussed, are made to the children in the buttock, because more complex intravenous injections should be performed only by a professional, and not by a self-taught doctor.

The child is afraid of injections - what to do?

Even some adults, not to mention children afraid of injections. But what about the kids? Still, we must try to tell you that this is the right procedure and can not do without it. But do not cheat and tell the child that injections to children do not hurt, otherwise it will be hard for him to trust you in later life. There are babies who, although they cry during the injection, but lie quietly and do not try to escape.

If you find yourself a little rebel and all the exhortations are useless or the child is still very small and does not understand the explanations, then the manipulation should still be done gently, but decisively. Confusion in the eyes of my mother and delaying the moment, even more capable of frightening the child. Parents who themselves put the children in prisons, should realize that they bring good, though through pain and do not suffer remorse.

How to make a baby a prick at home?

It is advisable to carry out this procedure with an assistant, because it is unrealistic to keep an escaping baby and insert the needle correctly. If the child is very small it is necessary to keep it in his arms by pressing it to him and leaving one buttock free. For older children, who actively resist, the option is suitable, when the adult keeps lying on his lap, slightly clasping the legs of the child with his foot.

On a clean towel, you need to put everything you need:

  1. Ampoules with medicine, lidocaine and water for injection.
  2. Vata (it is better to prepare 2-3 balls at once).
  3. Alcohol.
  4. A file for ampoules
  5. Syringe (2 ml for a child under 10 years and 5 ml for older children).

Now you need to nail around the ampoule and gently cover them with a clean napkin, break the tip. Packing with a syringe must be opened from the side of the piston to prevent contact of its tip and hands. Rapid movement, without removing the needle from the package, put it on the syringe, and then completely free of the wrapper.

Having removed the protective cap from the needle, we take the medicine (if it is already in liquid form) into the syringe. If you have a dry powder in the vial, it should be diluted according to the instructions and shaken well before dissolving. It is advisable to remove the aluminum ring and the rubber stopper first, and do not take the medicine through it.

After the syringe is filled, lightly tapping on it with a fingernail, we make sure that the accumulation of bubbles rises upward. Sharp movement of the piston bleed excess air. Injection is made into the uppermost square of the buttocks. In order not to be mistaken, you can draw it with iodine. The place of the injection is wiped with alcohol and rapid movement, we make an injection at an angle of 90 ° C. After taking out the needle, apply fresh cotton wool.

Seal in the child after a shot

Not everyone knows how to properly inject a baby and inject the medicine too quickly. This leads to the formation of painful cones. To avoid this, you need to inject the medicine as slowly as possible, and after a shot make a small massage. In a few hours, you can begin to apply heat and make alcohol compresses. To make the bumps after the injections in the child resolve more quickly, you can put a plate of Dutch cheese or make a grid of iodine.
