What's the word used for when something is injected into an artery?
like the word intravenous for injecting into a vein, i want the one for an artery.
I think it's something approaching semi something, but not completely sure and i can't find anything on the web to help me find what it could be.
And while i'm here just somewhat add on question. is insulin injected intravenously- i thought it was but my friend (who's a pharmacist) say its not??
appreciate the help. also just answer what you can in the integral thing.
Thanks, hmmmmm the question seems to be a bit bigger than i be expecting lol
Answers:
Insulin is injected under the skin. Not into any blood vessel. They don`t really inject into arteries.
Not many things are put into the artery, as the artery is going away from the heart, to the extremity. Only things close to angiograms/angioplasty go into an artery.
Insulin would never be injected into an artery. It can be added to an IV fluid, or it can be injected into the subcutaneous fat of arms, legs or abdomen.
Sometimes surrounded by hospital, they will place an arterial line ("art line"), mostly for drawing arterial blood for testing. Most of the time it was for blood gas conducting tests, now that there are pulse oximeters, that measure oxygenation through the skin, these are impracticable as frequently any more.
intraarterial? Sorry I forgot.
Intra-Arterial !
And no insulin is normally a sub-cut injection for diabetics. Source(s): Offshore and remote medic
Intra-arterial is correct.
Insulin is normally given subcutaneously but in emergency situations it can be given intravenously. Source(s): Pharmacist
