Hi All has anyone tried or is currently using the Biopatch or similar for CAD's?

HI all and thank you very much for your responces, Freedom42, thank you very much for coment and reference, Im not sure that this quotation is refering to drawing back to check you are not in a vessel? this sounds like it is referring to drawing air into the syringe prior to administration? I have never heard of this one mind you! I will obtain article to clarify. Sub-cut - very interesting comments, I have never been taught (or practiced) drawing back when administering subcut injections. In view of your experience mommy perhaps its not such a bad idea. Please keep them coming along with any evidence you find

Hi CVSICU RN Yes it has come to me second hand to ask if I can investigate, originally started with a student nurse who said they were not being tought in school to draw back ( I am trying to contact school) The district nurse who has asked me about it told me of the statement in the WHO document 'The green Book' I am still searching the WHO site and havent accessed it yet!! I have ordered 'The Green Book' (2006) immunisation against infectious diseases. Immunization in practice:a guide for health care workers pg 30 where it has been sited. I understand the only relevent reference in the WHO document is to: Plotkin SA and Orenstien WA (eds) 2004 Vaccines 4th Edition Philidelphia WB Saunders Company but again this book is currently on loan from our library so waiting for it will post any info I can find

New to site so a big hello to all . My question relates to drawing back when giving intramuscular injections to check you are not in a vessel. I understand the WHO published guidelines that suggested this is no longer necessary and wondered if any one has or knows of research that supports this? Or the theory behind it? I would apprectiate your comments and views :bugeyes:
