This was helpful, the vet sent me home with some meds for my dog not being sure looked this up was quite chuffed I got it Thx very helpful this a keeper for sure 😊❤
I'm in training as a dialysis technician and I noticed that drawing heparin was one of my weaknesses. This video helped me out a lot! Now I can go in tomorrow at my clinic and kick some major heparin butt. Thank you so much, you have no idea how well this video has cleared things up for me.
This was the best most simplified video I've found on RUclips that explains the measured increments and how to read syringes. Thank you so much for this video and for teaching it so well. Love Love :))
2019 I was in class and my professor was lecturing about this and I followed along and briefly understood it but not completely I still didn't understand how to read the smaller lines. I went back over the lecture notes only to realize we may have went over them but my professor hadn't wrote anything down, which was fine so I went through my textbook and my text didn't do much explaining either. Which later on, I remembered that is what my professor said as I had stayed a few minutes the class ended to ask questions. I'm glad I found this video because it does fill in the gaps I had been missing during the lecture and I feel a lot more comfortable on the subject! So thank you for this even though it's an older video it still applies today!✍🏽😁😆👍🏽💯
I am a student of korlebu nursing school, Ghana. Thanks so much, and God richly bless u. Indeed I understood everything you taught. Long life and prosperity be your portion
Mr. Farquharson, this was foremost the absolute best informative video on syringes. I love how you broke it down step-by-step. Please make more. This are extremely helpful for us. Thank you.
This helps me greatly, my husband now can't read well & he needed my help to read it & I'm like 😰, so glad found this to help him, much easier than the others. I'm feeling more "PHEW" Awesome! I just looked at his syringes, his finishes at 50. Only difference is his starts after the zero is 5, 10, 15, 20.
I'm on externship and the nursing supervisor was grilling me about an insulin syringe and I wasn't prepared.... I watched this video and now in ready for her. Thanks for your help!
BEST and most easily understandable lesson on reading syringes! Very quick and easy to remember. Thank you very much! I test tomorrow for an MA position and this will help me succeed!👍💉☑😁
you are the best! I wish you were my chemistry teacher. I think if we had teacher's explaining things like you, our American students would have performed better in math and science compared to the rest of the world. great job sir.
This is an EXCELLENT video, especially for allied health students who are learning primarily remote due to COVID. My medical assisting students are watching this today to help them get comfortable with syringe reading before they go to the skills lab on campus tomorrow. Kudos!
I'm pregnant and also a diabetic so my doctor decided to change my insulin and I did not know how to get 0.14 ml, 0.03 ml and 0.10 ml of a regular 100 units syringe thanks for your video I was able to read my syringe properly and now I'm confident that I'm getting the right dosage. thank you so much for your video the way you explained it was extremely easy to understand.
It’s so much complicated, but you still make it easy. You are the best instructor! Thank you so much for taking the time to illustrate and explain all this. May the almighty Allah grant you goodness and mercy ❤
Thanks a lot! We all need this kind of knowledge, not only in the medical field but in things like measuring plant food or others. Today I have learned something else, and very valuable.
if you are not a teacher , I am in the middle of a shock . You have a great talent , I understood every thing , thank you for making this video . Great explanation , I remember every word you said . Your voice and way are encourage . to tell you the truth . I love the video though I am not specialized in medicine . thanks a lot .
I'm undergrad in vet tech program, this video helped so much. I Did Have Some Trouble with The 5mL but I went back and tried it again. Awesome video. It's going to help me in my classes.
This video was awesome. I could grasp reading syringes which keeps me from passing my dosage calculations exams. won't be failing anymore, this video was awesome. I am a visual learner so using the 3 step method had me reading thesyringes used in the demonstrations within 5 minutes. Thanks for doing this video. KG
Thank you so much, haven't done IM in over 25 years. This was important for me because I got invited back to interview, so this is going to be on my next interview. Thank you for the brush up!
Omg thank u so much 🙏 because of you I now know how to read syringes. From all the RUclips videos you are the one that explains it the best. BEST VIDEO EVER THANK U ❤️❤️
This was very informative! I'm a EduMed Medical Student presently and we're currently learning how to administer insulin, tb and intra-muscular injections so your video was very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you SO much! It was a really big help to me! A real life saver. It was the only video to actually explain exactly what I wanted to know. God bless and keep up the good work.
Thank you for this video! The cone-shaped top of the stopper and which part of it to use to get the proper dose had thrown me off. Now it’s all crystal clear.
Great video helps alot and it actually breaks down the mL of the syringes and i love that about this videos please continue to post as many videos as possible to keep helping people over come the obstacles of life in the medical field thanks again
I am just about to begin measuring liquids using a syringe tank you so much this video was exactly what I needed to learn before beginning. Thank you so much.
WOW. I would like to say thank you so much for this video!! I am a visual/kinesthetic learner, and this helped ALOT in learning how to read, and calculate these syringes. This makes SO much sense. May I please share this with my program and classmates? This is truly a lifesaver!
Very helpful! I have to give my dog B12 injections at home and I wasn't sure how to measure 1mL: do I line up the graduated number by the cone? Now I know. Thanks.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. I am a 4th semester nursing student and have struggled so with reading syringes. LOL who knew that all those little lines did NOT have the same value? Thank you, thank you, thank you.
my doubt is when we use drawing needle and replacing with injecting needle. how much drug we loose when we change the drawing needle which has some drug in it?
What about all the liquid in the needle itself? Using your method, you may only have 0.2 cc in the syringe, but the needle may hold another 25%. How do you account for the medication in the needle to get an accurate and proper dosage?
+JimmyLeeHook Yeah, that question is was brought me here unfortunately. Trying to measure .05ml when the needle takes up double that is interesting. I know this is a late reply, but what I do is draw more than I need, tilt the syringe up and pull everything down so I can see it all, and gently push the level back up to the syringe's plastic tip. Then I can push to the level I need, returning the extra.
+Virux If You're doing what I think you are doing, then you are leaving a lot of medication in the needle and might be giving the wrong amount. I'm not quite sure, though. Can you give a more detailed description? I might be misunderstanding what you're saying.
My application is flavor extracts. Essentially all I'm doing is pulling the plunger up enough to draw the liquid out of the needle, and then pushing the plunger back down, lining the liquid up with the tip of the actual syringe (before the needle starts) and checking the liquid level along with any air gaps. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right, but it seems to be the most accurate way for my purpose. The needle is too small to leave any significant residue.
I would love to see a similar video on U-100 1/2cc and 3/10cc syringes. Including partial draws like 0.75u. This would be wonderful for people that have diabetic pets that take small doses of insulin. It's so hard to see them on syringes currently available and 1/4cc syringes are next to impossible to find.
OK quick question.. So the medicine is always measured with the needle facing up? What about the medicine that is in the needle, and the extra clear plastic part of the needle that holds to the syringe? So.. When measuring.. Do we draw the plunger back and tap on the needle so that all the medicine drops below to the first line? Removing everything above the first line with the needle facing up? This would be for my testosterone injection. I want to make sure my dosage is exactly what is prescribed. Thank you
This video is awesome! I do a self injection each week and they told me to lower from 0.4 ml to 0.3 ml, and I was confused since I just pulled to a certain line without really knowing. Very thankful for this video!
How much medication is wasted between the top ring of the plunger, and the barrel of a 3ml syringe. Let's also use a 1.5in x 25mm needle as an example. I need to know this please. Would you say. 02ml? Less?
Hi Jay! If the syringe is free from manufacturer issues and the medication is correctly drawn into the syringe (no air bubbles, etc), there shouldn't be any waste. The syringe is calibrated for exact measurements of medication. For example, if you properly draw the medication to reach the 1 mL mark on the syringe, you can rest assured that 1mL of medication is in the syringe. As far as micro measurements (such as 0.005 or other values not represented on the syringe) I am not the best person to answer that. Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
PERFECT!!!!!!!! "READING SYRINGES FOR DUMMIES" this is truly a lifesaver for me
you dumb duh!
Yeah, don't get injections from Tara. She just might have lost it.
Hi.
This was helpful, the vet sent me home with some meds for my dog not being sure looked this up was quite chuffed I got it Thx very helpful this a keeper for sure 😊❤
I've been an anesthesiologist for 32 years. I hope i know what a syringe is by now

A highly valued subscriber! Thank you.
Thank you so much! You are awesome! You explained it better than the book and my teacher! I didn’t understand until now!❤️👌🏾

How much medication is wasted between the top ring of the plunger, and the barrel of a 3ml syringe. Let's also use a 1.5in x 25mm needle as an example. I need to know this please. Would you say. 02ml? Less?
