InjektionenInfusionen

Injektionen and Infusionen are medical procedures used to administer substances into the body. Injektionen, commonly known as injections, involve delivering a liquid medication or substance directly into the body using a needle and syringe. This can be done in various ways, including subcutaneous (under the skin), intramuscular (into a muscle), or intravenous (into a vein). The choice of injection site depends on the type of substance being administered, its intended effect, and the desired speed of absorption. Injections are frequently used for delivering vaccines, pain relievers, insulin, and other medications that need to bypass the digestive system or act quickly.

Infusionen, or infusions, are a method of administering fluids or medications into the bloodstream over a longer period, typically through an intravenous line. This process uses an IV bag containing the substance, connected to a catheter inserted into a vein. Infusions are often employed for administering large volumes of fluids, chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, or for providing nutritional support when oral intake is not possible. The rate of infusion can be controlled, allowing for a steady and consistent delivery of the administered substance. Both injections and infusions are performed by trained healthcare professionals to ensure safety and efficacy.
