Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 16 MAS 387 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Intradermal Injections
Captions available
The idea
An intradermal injection places a small amount of medication directly under the skin's surface.
In practice
With the bevel up, insert the needle at five to fifteen degrees, advance only enough to cover the bevel, and inject; a small raised bubble, called a bleb, shows correct placement.
Where people slip
Do not massage or cover the site afterward.
