What Are the Common Sites for Intramuscular Injection?
The most common sites for IM injections include the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, the vastus lateralis muscle of the thigh, and the ventrogluteal and dorsogluteal sites in the buttocks. These sites are chosen based on the volume of the injection, the viscosity of the solution, and the presence of large blood vessels or nerves, which should be avoided to prevent injury.
