Sterile Preparation Tips
- Aseptic technique must be maintained
- Double-check calculations with another professional
- Label all preparations with drug, dose, concentration, and expiration
- Use appropriate syringe size for volume accuracy
Volume Conversion
1 mL= 1000 μL
1 L= 1000 mL
1 teaspoon≈ 5 mL
Administration Guidelines
Small Volumes (< 1 mL)
- • Use insulin syringes for accuracy
- • Minimum measurable volume: 0.01 mL
- • Consider dead space in syringe
- • Ideal for subcutaneous injections
Medium Volumes (1-10 mL)
- • Use standard 3-10 mL syringes
- • Suitable for IM injections
- • Check muscle size for IM administration
- • Divide large volumes between sites if needed
Large Volumes (> 10 mL)
- • Typically for IV infusion
- • Use appropriate IV bags/syringes
- • Consider infusion rate and time
- • Check for compatibility with diluent
