intraperitonealinen

Intraperitoneal injection is a medical procedure in which a substance is administered directly into the peritoneal cavity, the space within the abdominal cavity that contains the abdominal organs and their associated membranes. This method is often used for the administration of chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, or other therapeutic agents in cases where systemic absorption is desired but intravenous administration is not feasible or appropriate.

The peritoneal cavity is a large, fluid-filled space that provides a significant surface area for drug absorption. Intraperitoneal administration can be particularly useful in patients with compromised cardiovascular function, as it bypasses the heart and lungs, reducing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. It is also beneficial in patients with compromised renal function, as it avoids the need for drug metabolism by the kidneys.

The procedure typically involves the insertion of a needle through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity. The needle is then used to inject the desired substance. The procedure is relatively simple and can be performed in an outpatient setting. However, it requires careful technique to ensure that the needle is correctly placed and that the substance is administered into the peritoneal cavity rather than into a nearby organ or blood vessel.

Intraperitoneal injection is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, bleeding, and damage to nearby organs. As with any medical procedure, the risks and benefits of intraperitoneal injection should be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis.
