It must always be diluted in infusion fluid (RL or 0.9% sodium chloride). It must never be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly.

Whenever possible, Vitamin K1 Injection (Phytonadione Injectable Emulsion, USP) should be given by the subcutaneous route (See Box Warning). When intravenous administration is considered unavoidable, the drug should be injected very slowly, not exceeding 1 mg per minute.

Adults: 10 to 50 mg intravenously at a rate generally not exceeding 25 mg/min, or deep intramuscularly, 100 mg if required; maximum daily dosage is 400 mg.

Intravenous use of haloperidol is not FDA-approved, but is widely utilized and accepted in the literature. Recent studies suggest that olanzapine can also be given intravenously, even though it is labeled only for intramuscular use.

Growth hormone therapy has been classically given by the intramuscular route. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of human growth hormone (hGH) has been avoided owing to the effect that this route of administration might have on the development of antibodies to hGH.

One ampule of 7.5% sodium bicarbonate (44.6 mEq HCO3 ion) may be administered slowly IV over 5 minutes and repeated at 10 to 15 minute intervals if ECG changes persist.

The salt bridge is used to maintain electrical neutrality in the system. The ions need to flow back and forth between the two half-cells. KCl or better yet, KNO3, are just simple, inert salts. KCl would NOT be a good choice if you had silver or lead electrodes, because it would lead to some precipitate formation.

Unfortunately, current guidelines mandate that only normal saline be administered with blood products because of the danger of creating emboli. In theory, the calcium in Ringer's lactate solution could overwhelm the chelating capacities of the citrate in stored blood, resulting in clot formation.

There are five commonly used routes of parenteral (route other than digestive tract) administration: subcutaneous (SC/SQ), intraperitoneal (IP), intravenous (IV), intrader- mal (ID), and intramuscular (IM). Not all techniques are appropriate for each species.

Potassium chloride is used to prevent or to treat low blood levels of potassium (hypokalemia). Potassium levels can be low as a result of a disease or from taking certain medicines, or after a prolonged illness with diarrhea or vomiting.

Rocephin may be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Do not use diluents containing calcium, such as Ringer's solution or Hartmann's solution, to reconstitute Rocephin vials or to further dilute a reconstituted vial for IV administration because a precipitate can form.

There has been a number of studies demonstrating subcutaneous is equal to intramuscular therapy. Growth Hormone is usually administered 6-7 days per week, but is also available in a long acting form, which is given every 7 to 28 days.

Whenever possible, Vitamin K1 Injection (Phytonadione Injectable Emulsion, USP) should be given by the subcutaneous route. When intravenous administration is considered unavoidable, the drug should be injected very slowly, not exceeding 1 mg per minute.

When potassium levels drop below 3.0 mEq/L (mEq/L stand for milliequivalents per liter of blood) the body enters a condition known as hypokalemia. Hypokalemia can lead directly to cardiac arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation. But hypokalemia can also cause: Muscle weakness.

The best method of giving your baby vitamin K is an injection soon after the birth. The injection is given by a midwife into the muscle of your baby's thigh. If you don't want your baby to have the injection, vitamin K can be given by mouth, unless your baby cannot accept feeds by mouth.
