Vial Medication Administration: How to Withdraw Vial Medication Nursing Skill

Vial medication administration nursing skill. Learn techniques to withdraw medication from a vial using a syringe with a needle.
Medications can come in different forms, such as ampules, vials, tablets, capsules, and so forth. When withdrawing medication from a vial, there are a few things you'll want to know as a nursing student or nurse.
First, there are different needles that can be attached to the syringe. You can use a traditional needle with a beveled tip; you can use a blunt-tip needle to reduce the risk of needle sticks; or you can use a filter needle, which is sometimes required or recommended when drawing medication from a vial, particularly in cases of reconstituted medication.
When withdrawing from a vial, you'll want to do these things (assuming they fit with the protocols and manufacturer's instructions):
NOTE: Some medications or vaccines may require a different technique, so always consult with the manufacturer's instructions.
-gather your supplies
-perform hand hygiene
-clean the vial's top with alcohol prep
-attach the appropriate needle
-stick the needle using a technique to prevent coring of the rubber on the vial (start with 45 degree angle, and as you puncture the vial, rotate the needle to a 90 degree angle in one smooth motion).
-push air into the vial equal to the amount of medication you plan to draw
-invert the vial to withdraw medication
-remove air bubbles
-and much more

    While I'm not a nurse, nor am I studying to become one personally, I give myself weekly HRT injections. This has helped me figure out how to draw my Testosterone properly as a visual learner. Week 4 as of today and I still find myself coming to this every Thursday just to clarify that I'm doing it right. Thanks!

Last night in lab (in a fundamentals student) a few of us got to try to this and I just wasn’t getting the hang of holding the syringe properly (admittedly there was a video I should’ve watched prior to class), I also locked two needles in a row (I’m not used to safety locks or needles in general). I’m glad you offer resources like this to help us sharpen our skills. It really helps to feel more competent.

Then I had a nurse show me how to do everything, but my mother died later that same day so I forgot much of what the nurse showed me. Tonight it was time to give myself another injection, so I did a search online and found your video. It was SO easy to follow and I was successful this time!

    On the patient side for air. Especially for Testosterone CYP or other oil based medications. Use the full syringe of air. In these multi use vials you end up loosing alot of air after awhile. So over pressure helps alot. Simplest and easier thing ive learned.

    Question: why do some places not change out the needle when administering a vaccine and some do? When I recently had the COVID vaccine I never felt a thing. I asked the pharmacist why and he explained as you did about dull needles. However when I’ve received the flu vaccine at other pharmacies they don’t change out the needle some of them and it hurts.
