It has various effects in the body that include opening blood vessels, relaxing smooth muscle, inhibiting clotting, and causing uterine contractions. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] In infants with certain congenital heart defects , alprostadil is delivered by slow injection into a vein to maintain a patent ductus arteriosus until surgery can be carried out. [ 4 ]
Injection site reactions (ISRs) are reactions that occur at the site of injection of a drug. They may be mild or severe and may or may not require medical intervention. Some reactions may appear immediately after injection, and some may be delayed. [1] Such reactions can occur with subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous administration.
the presence of an overwhelming systemic reaction. [ 1 ] POIS symptoms, which are called a "POIS attack", [ 1 ] can include some combination of the following: cognitive dysfunction, aphasia , severe muscle pain throughout the body, severe fatigue , weakness, and flu-like or allergy-like symptoms, [ 4 ] such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal ...
An intracavernous (or intracavernosal) injection is an injection into the base of the penis.This injection site is often used to administer medications to check for or treat erectile dysfunction in adult men (in, for example, a combined intracavernous injection and stimulation test). [1]
A type of infusion pump, manufactured by Fresenius. An infusion pump infuses fluids, medication or nutrients into a patient's circulatory system. It is generally used intravenously, although subcutaneous, arterial and epidural infusions are occasionally used. Infusion pumps can administer fluids in ways that would be impractically expensive or ...
Extravasation is the leakage of intravenously (IV) infused, and potentially damaging, medications into the extravascular tissue around the site of infusion. The leakage can occur through brittle veins in the elderly, through previous venipuncture access, or through direct leakage from wrongly positioned venous access devices.
Getting hard are about two things: blood flow in, and no blood flow out. Your genitals is essentially a balloon filled with blood. Actually, there are two main ones in the genitals, and together ...
The chemical reactions of sodium nitroprusside are mainly associated with the NO ligand. [51] For example, addition of S 2− ion to [Fe(CN) 5 (NO)] 2− produces the violet colour [Fe(CN) 5 (NOS)] 4− ion, which is the basis for a sensitive test for S 2− ions. An analogous reaction also exists with OH − ions, giving [Fe(CN) 5 (NO 2)] 4− ...
