The Effect of Two Types of Subcutaneous Heparin Injections on Pain, Ecchymosis, Hematoma and Drug Absorption: A Quasi‐Experimental Study
The tissue-releasing and TPTs are not superior to each other as far as drug absorption, pain, ecchymosis, and hematoma are concerned. In this study recommend pinching the tissue or using the abdominal region in cases where the subcutaneous tissue thickness is less than 15.96 mm. The nurse should consider Body Mass Index before choosing the right subcutaneous heparin injection site and the correct injection technique.
