- I have had to inject blood thinners several times, over the years. I shared a video way back in 2012 showing how to inject Clexane, and it is still one of my most viewed videos. So I recorded this video to show how to inject Heparin, when I was last prescribed it.
**PLEASE NOTE**
I am not a medical professional. This is how I was taught to inject Heparin, so please follow your own medical professional's advice if they gave you a different method.
I was first prescribed Innohep / Heparin in 2011, and had to inject myself daily for 6 months, during pregnancy. This time around, I had suspected DVT, so was given it to help reduce any clots, while waiting for the scan to diagnose me.
I've been advised by my doctor to leave the needle in for 7 seconds after injecting the fluid. Apparently this is to ensure proper dispersal of the fluid.
They never said anything to me about that's the way u should do. They told me how to do standing in front of me and I didn't leave the needle that long but im also not taking it out at the exact moment i'm finished.
I do that as well but I don't count.
Thank you very much for the video, very helpful.
You're welcome - I'm glad it helped.
Thankyou,that was just what I needed.I have to have a course of heparin,while my warfarin is stopped.I’m having an operation on my leg,in 4 days time.
Thank you for showing us this
شكرا. Thank you. Dank je wel
Thank you!
Thank you!!
This is the problem when you give medical advice. You have followed the advice of the NHS nurse and people say you are doing it wrong. No offence, but i wouldn't take medical advice for a fact. When i have to start these, i will be taking this exactly how i was instructed to do (like you was) I am here only to give me a little indication of what is involved. Out of all the countries in the world, we all do things different
I'm a beginner using these shots had my surgery friday last week. I was learnt to remove the lid u should pinch the thicker rim closer to the shot and jently twist at the same time u pull carefully. The way u do i'm afraid the needle might get bent.
45 degree angle they said to me just to be more specific.
When ur done, don't use ur hand to break the needle, gently press the orange flap against a table and u'll hear 2 small clicks.
Incroyable, pas de désinfection, l'aiguille doit être à 90 ° et on ne touche pas le zone avec ses doigts après !!!!
Thanks for the useful video.
You're welcome - I'm glad it was useful :)
Very helpful indeed. Thanks so much
Needs 90 degree angle, otherwise it might leave skin hematoma lasting for months. Don´t touch the skin after the injection.
Thanks for this
I wasn't given angles . The nurse watched me do it and I had no problems.
I inject in my alternative thighs...2 weeks.
I was petrified but did it!👏🏾🙏🏾
I was told not to rub the area either x
Subcutaneous injections are given at 45 degree angle. It’s IM that are given at 90 degrees.
Agreed it’s best not to run the skin after giving though
Correct. Go at a 45 degree angle
Thank you so much for this. I’m a newly qualified nurse and lately I’ve been having trouble giving subcutaneous injections; it’s like the needle won’t penetrate the skin as quickly as I want if that makes sense
I always make sure the straight side of the needle is closest to the skin & the side with the ridge is pointing upwards. - hope that helps :)
I've very recently had my surgery. I recognize this "issue" but i'm still a bit scared to feel the needle so i'm way too gentle. I guess u should be more determined without hesitate and it might be easier.
@@TinaBaileythanks for the tip, i'll think about that tomorrow.
Alcohol swab before inj.
45 degree. (90 is for IM)
Relase the skin the ln pull-back the needle
Dont touch the area after inj.
Dont touch
Mercie
I was told go straight down at 90° angle, also worst part of the injection isn’t the needle but I find the actual solution stings
Thank you for the video. You shouldn't rub. It creates bruises . Instead keep the finger on the injection location for 30 sec.
I’ve been using these and my stomach is covered in purple bruising. Would you know why this is as I’ve noticed yours are barely visible?
I think everyone is different on that front. When my sister had to use them, she was covered in purple bruises.
Dear Natalie,
You're getting bruises because unfortunately you're doing it wrong (as was I last year).
Trick is to absolutely not! let out the airbubble, it's sealing after the fluid went in.
Pinch your skin, (before off course you cleaned it with an alcohol swab), keep pinching it while you stick in the needle, keep pinching while injecting and only after you've injected it all, pull out the needle and don't rub.
Rubbing may give you bruises as well.
Do it like that and not one bruise will appear 😉
Good luck!
Thanks
Hi, please let me know where I can buy these from ? I’m pregnant had many miscarriage need help 😔
It depends where do u live . U can buy them from any pharmacy but some pharmacies need a report from ur doctor to give the medecins
I’m in the UK. You can’t buy them here, they were prescribed to me by my consultant at the maternity hospital. I wouldn’t recommend buying or using them without medical guidance.
Hello👋🏽
I have a small question: does it hurt? And i dont mean the needle but more the fluid going into your stomach. Because I find some injections really burn and I'm quite scared to inject myself 😬
Did my first one yesterday and the needle doesn't hurt at all in or out its stings a bit the fluid going in but that's about it
This is not the way to do it.
Please rectified your video.
Put the syringe verticaly to get the level : it removes air bubbles.
This is the way I was shown to do it by an NHS nurse, while in hospital. As I say in the video, I’m not a medical professional - if you’ve been shown a different method, please follow the directions you were given. The syringe & method may well have changed since this video was made.
The air bubble should stay in! It's in there for a reason, mainly to seal of and prevent bruising.
Plus, don't rub.
Just pinch, stick it in and inject, get it out, release the pinched skin and don't rub.
why so slowly introduced and why not inserted in 90º angle?

@@TinaBailey understud. Thank you 🙏
Very unsafe.
Didn't remove the cap properly, injected at the wrong angle, injected too fast, didn't use the orange safety tab properly... This video should be removed.
this is not a correct way, please check other videos
