IV infection
I have UTI (E.Coli) and I am advised for 10 IV (200ml) to be injected in a period in 5 days.
Is it mandatory to place a cannula for these injections or I can place a new needle directly in my nerve for 5 days. Actually I am avoiding cannula.
Please advise.

I would advise keeping canula... less painful, more ideal and proper way of giving injection... use waterproof 3M cavafix for fixing the canula
, ask the person who gives injection to clean hand with medical grade hand sanitiser before touching canula ,, clean canula with hand sanitiser
These all will help preserve the canula longer
Also the antibiotics should be diluted in 100 ml ns wherever required to avoid pain and inflammation
Etc
