Re: thank you very SHOT INTO BLOOD VESSEL

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Don’t the syringes come pre-filled and ready to inject? My daughter’s

Kineret does. And then there should be not reason to need to pull back on the

syringe at all.

So glad you are handling this so well so far! Good for you!

If you did pull back on the plunger and were in a blood vessel you would

see a little bit of blood come into the syringe/medication. As a nurse we

are taught to stop, through that one out in the sharps container, draw up a

new injection and start over. I've only seen it happen to one nurse in my

time, and it never happened to me so it's not all that common. Just

remember, if you pull back first, you haven't injected any of the medication

into

yourself yet.

hope this helps,

hugs,
