So this was what happened, I was asked to prepare glutathione and to inject in intramusculary via the deltoid muscle. When I injected intramusculary, I did not saw any blood back flow. I was not able to aspirate to check for blood. When I injected the medication half-way through, I stopped and then I saw minimal blood flow. What is the reason for this? What are the possible complications? (Also, I read that gluta can be injected IM or IV). I'm really bothered by this.
