[Risks of serial intramuscular injections].

Deutsche Zeitschrift Fur Mund-, Kiefer- Und Gesichts-Chirurgie

|March 1, 1989

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Serial intramuscular injections can cause harm. Short needles risk dermal embolism, while even correct injections may lead to muscle necrosis and fibrosis, potentially forming cysts.

Area of Science:

Anatomy and Physiology
Pharmacology
Pathophysiology

Context:

A case review highlighted risks associated with serial intramuscular injections.
Recent findings detail muscular responses and tissue effects from injection treatments.

Purpose:

To investigate the optimal needle length for intramuscular injections.
To analyze tissue and fat layer thickness at key injection sites.
To evaluate morphological, anatomical, and pathophysiological effects of injections on muscle tissue.

Summary:

Animal experiments demonstrated that short needles can cause subcutaneous misinjections and acute drug-induced dermal embolism.
Correctly placed serial injections may result in deep muscle necrosis and elevated serum creatinin phosphokinase.
