Abstract
The current cross-sectional study included (94) cases, it was distributed into (43, 16, 15, 20) which resulted from the wrong injection of the treatment in the areas (IM, IV, SC and ID, respectively). The patients' ages ranged from 10 months to 70 years, with an average age of 28.92 years. The experiment was random. We analyzed the basic data to monitor the injection error. Samples were collected from Al-Diwaniyah General Teaching Hospital, Women and Children Teaching Hospital, Al-Iskan Health Center, and Al-Taqiyah Health Center, in the period from November 2021 to April 2022, most of the disease cases resulting from injection error varied in the genders of the infection between males and females, and the type of drug substance (ampoule, vial) had a clear effect on the changes and complications of the error at the injection site, and this appeared with statistically significant differences ( p < 0.05). It was also noted the emergence of some signs accompanied by complications, the effect of which was clear in the difficulty of walking, pain, itching and redness accompanied by numbness and swelling, as well as cyanosis and stiffness at the injection site, and this led to the emergence of statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). The relationship between the types of treatments and the relationship between the types of treatments and the complications of injection error was also clear. It was noted that the used treatments are paracetamol, antibiotic drugs, decadron, heparin, filler, insulin, tuberculin test, sensitivity test, and the cannula, where changes appeared in the injection area accompanied by the previously mentioned complications. It should be noted that most cases recovered (26%), leaving only slight marks after recovery. Aims to identify the errors of the most important methods of injection and complications resulting from them to reduce medication errors. When feeling one of the signs of a therapeutic allergic reaction immediately after the injection, you should go to the doctor or seek health care immediately, and more research should be done to discover the causes of injection errors, as well as work on more research to discover the causes of injection error, monitoring health professionals , training them, and developing their practical and scientific skills to avoid error.
