Aspiration before IM injection

2022-10-13 14:52:16
Is aspiration required nowadys before giving any IM injection ? Does it cause more pain if we aspirate ? Let's say, I have identified the greater trochanter properly and I know there is no chance of presence of any blood vessel. Still should I aspirate as a standart procedure ?

Why don't you take your own injections yourself? You are so knowledgeable.
