Needle size gauge selected should be proportional to the viscosity thickness of the medication to be given. The needle bore diameter increases as the needle gauge size decreases e.g. 18G is larger than 20G .
To maintain healthy injection sites only use syringes or pen needles one time. Needle reuse contributes to the build up of scar tissue which may interfere with insulin absorption. Insulin may not work as expected if injected into that area. Please

Feb 16 2021 The size of the sutures will determine how big the needle and thread are. Depending on the location certain sizes are recommended. The larger the number the smaller the size and lower the strength. 1 0 are the largest and 10 0 are the smallest but most simple laceration repairs will use anywhere between 3 0 to 6 0 .
Mar 06 2018 2. Our current IV catheter #22 gauge 1 has an injection rate of 9ml/sec but we need to add on macro bore power injection tubing. The radiologists have complained that when using a #22 the image is of poorer quality therefore #20 request. The closed system that we are thinking of trialing is promoted for CT use able to insert a smaller gauge
The syringe needle should be oriented perpendicularly to the shaft and inserted fully/entirely as shown. The injection should be directed into the proximal half a b of the penile shaft at the side most edge of the shaft at either the 3 00 shown shaded areas or 9 00 position.
Selection of Intravenous IV access. The following guidelines should be considered when referring patient for IV access. Duration IV access required. Selection of cannula. <7 days. Peripheral IV access. Predicted dwell time forearm > hand > foot > cubital fossa. Ultrasound guided peripheral IV access may last up to 7 days 7 14 days or.
A peripheral intravenous line 20 gauge in the antecubital or forearm area is preferred when power injections are needed in adults. Although 22 gauge catheters may be able to tolerate flow rates up to 5 ml/sec the 20 gauge or larger catheter is preferable for flow rates of 3 ml/sec or higher. When a 22 gauge catheter is used the technologist
Peripheral IV Catheter Chart. Always select the smallest gauge peripheral catheter that will accommodate the prescribed therapy and patient need. Peripheral catheters larger than 20G are more likely to cause phlebitis. Do not use peripheral veins for continuous infusions of vesicants parenteral nutrition or infusates with an osmolarity of 900
