Question

What should be done if the medication is accidentally injected into the skin, causing a bump while administering growth hormone anesthesia?

Answer

  1. When injecting growth hormone anesthesia, if the needle angle is too small and the medication is accidentally injected into the skin, causing a bump, there is no need to address this. The skin can naturally dissolve the medication, and it will not interfere with the efficacy of the growth hormone therapy or cause any harm to the child’s body.
  2. The correct needle angle for injecting growth hormone using a syringe is 45 degrees, aiming for subcutaneous injection.
  3. Even if the needle enters the subcutaneous layer, injecting growth hormone too quickly can also cause a bump. Therefore, it is recommended to slow down the injection speed each time.
