Clinical
using the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injections
<p>The ideal site for administering intramuscular (IM) injections has been discussed in a number of recently published articles (Nisbet 2006, Greenway 2004, Small 2004). These authors consider the evidence that the traditional dorsogluteal (DG) (upper outer quadrant) should be avoided for most drugs; Greenway (2004) and Small (2004) suggest that the ventrogluteal site (VG) is the site of choice for IM injections.</p>
