Description
At present, twenty-three states permit doctors of optometry to perform epinephrine injections for
anaphylaxis, and only eight states permit the use of injections for management of conditions other than anaphylaxis. The National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) now requires that all students applying for a doctor of optometry license be competent in and capable of performing basic injection procedures, including preparation of medications, intravenous fluorescein angiography injections, and intramuscular epinephrine injections. The purpose of this guide is to provide a practical step-by-step outline of common injection procedures to optometry students preparing for the injections skill portion of the NBEO Clinical Skills Examination (Part III), as well as to review common clinical conditions requiring the use of injections for either treatment or diagnostic purposes. This guide reviews the proper techniques required to perform subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, and intravenous injections, as well as aseptic techniques to prepare for an injection procedure. The guide will be supplemented by an injections video, which was recorded in the fall of 2010. Like any other procedure utilized in the practice of optometry, these injection techniques require practice and repetition to become proficient. |
