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

Thank you to learn how to withdraw medicine from a vial

[@circxsking]

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!

[@lightningshy5287]

Same, I’ve been so anxious about self administering my Estrogen through injections

[@melaniesipko8181]

I'm here for the exact same reason lol

[@ahmadaadaqqa]

Even experienced nurses need to watch this
Every nurse to be updated with latest information
Thanx

[@bmort385]

Damn, I did this COMPLETELY wrong for my first injection 😅 glad I watched this to get it right for my next round 🙏🏾

[@rileymistycloe]

you should do a video on what gauge/needle length/site/injection position to use for each different injection type

[@Ruffles729]

Think she’s already got one:)

[@milagrosreyes6363]

Very good

[@marimarujaa7818]

Yes please

[@limitlessroy3633]

I m a doctor bt we need to perform these things as a part of clinical skill assessment thank you for making our life easier

[@user-dm4fs8pw9u]

This is very helpful better explanations than my instructor!

[@kabrantecolon]

Thanks for this because we just started learning this last week and it’s a bit complicated for me BUT this helps and I shared this video with my class ❤️

[@rps1693]

I am a pharmacist in Australia about to start using pfizer MDV covid vials and found this video a well explained easy to follow demo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@marissaswane3347]

Hi Sarah,
You explain well the Vial administration and techniques for withdrawing medication from a vial. Million thanks to you. Your videos helps us all nurses to understanding clearly our nursing practice. Well done! You are excellent.

[@thefacelessnurse3885]

I had my first grad day yesterday and was worried about getting a needle stick injury from the build up of pressure. This video has really helped with a nice slow explanation and close up. Thank you so much xx

[@thelittlejennie]

I like the explanation of why we do things the way we do. Makes it easy to remember.

[@cynthiafentress6138]

Not a nurse, but I'm studying aseptic technique for pharmacy technicians. The only difference is I'd be in garb and under a laminate hood. This video REALLY helped me get the proper technique down!

[@nicolerita4556]

Thank you! I'm no nurse and giving myself IVF injections. This was super helpful! I previously pulled the needle out while it and the vial were vertical and some med sprayed. So, grateful to learn to angle the pair when removing the needle to avoid this. Appreciate all the tips too! 🙂

[@costinabrown203]

Thank you very much for your detailed, clear and informative video.

[@jas672]

i was getting a vacuum injecting the air in the medication vs in the airspace of the vial, I look forward to trying this thank you!!

[@ovelouy5141]

Hi Sarah.. I just want to thank you for all your videos 👍I’m already working as a nurse , but still I want to know more while I’m working to make sure I’m familiarize to all that I’m doing🙏🙂

[@blakewagner61]

Thanks for your hard work and taking the time to make this World a better place. I’m definitely a better nurse today, than I was yesterday, and I can truthfully say that I credit you for a share of that as well as my teachers.
Thanks, your fan from Lexington Ky

Doing this in lab soon & I've been so overwhelmed, but this really helped to break it down!!! Thank you!

[@AlexisLopez-se2mi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH IM A STUDENT STUDYING IN THE MA FIELD AND THIS WAS WAY BETTER INSTRUCTIONS THAN WHAT MY INSTRUCTOR PROVIDED!!

[@sabbysavedbygrace7]

Thank you for posing this. 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.

[@Ruffles729]

You’ll get the hang of this! You got this:)

[@courtneypeters652]

Not a nurse, but I preload naloxone (intramuscular Narcan) into syringes and this was so helpful! It took a while to practice and the vacuum baffled me at first 😂 thank you!!!!

[@hammerradiology1470]

Even doctors need to watch this!

[@mlmmmmm6884]

Thx as a nursing student that was affected by covid and couldn't go practices and everything online this helps a lot!!!

[@mariaelizabethramirez3437]

Thanks Sarah! I do not want to miss any of your videos! they are wonderful, clear and concise.

[@caitlinmorris5064]

Thank you for the great information and tips. Hopefully I'll remember this. It took me quite a while to remember the places to examine the heart with the stethoscope, thanks for your acronym thingy (All patients effectively take medicine = aortic, pulmonic, erb's point, tricuspid, mitral)

[@Bykrgirlpink]

Nurse Sarah you are a true blessing ❤️ thank you 💕

[@drdluv]

I have check offs next week! This is perfect. Thank you

[@crishocate1511]

from the bottom of my heart thank you so much! your videos help me a lot during this pandemic studying nursing. more power to you. keep safe!

[@donnacosky5235]

Thank you for this video!! I'm a patient but need to give myself Procrit injections. The first time it didn't go well, I didn't know I had to twist the needle so it kept falling off. 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!

[@waterbear8990]

I love all your videos, so helpful for revision! Can you make a video on how to reconstitute IV antibiotics like augmentin?

[@janedy101]

Wow, this is such a comprehensive tutorial! Thank you.

[@maegallana2331]

Hey sarah thank you for the useful video you uploaded on youtube world. This really helped me a lot with my BASIC NURSING SKILLS as healthcare student here in the philippines.
More videos Sarah we owe you a lot.

[@shilpasehgal640]

Dear you are really gift from god for whole nursing exam taker
Plz make vedio on psychaitric for clex

[@HeritageCast]

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.

[@ImNotHilarious]

Her video and this comment made my TRT injections so much easier.

[@MrAlvarez23]

Thank you so much, now I need to practice 😘

[@LukeOnTheMove]

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.

[@khanhtrandanf9085]
