Equipment and technique of intramuscular injection in mass treatment campaigns against the treponematoses.

Abstract:

:The precautions to be taken and the procedures to be followed when giving intramuscular injections are well known, but they are not always satisfactorily observed under conditions such as those met with in mass treatment campaigns against the treponematoses, nor is the importance of employing uniform techniques always sufficiently appreciated. In this paper, the authors present a brief review of the recommended techniques and procedures, covering all aspects of intramuscular injection from the choice and maintenance of equipment to the carrying-out of the actual injection.
