Drug Injection
Intramuscular Injection: 2ml, 5ml and 10ml syringes are commonly used for intramuscular injection. For some antibiotic drugs, 2ml or 5ml syringes may be used for injection depending on the drug dosage and concentration. When the dosage of the drug to be injected is slightly larger, 10ml syringes may also be used.
Intravenous Injection: 5ml, 10ml and 20ml syringes can all be used for intravenous injection. 5ml and 10ml syringes are more commonly used in some routine intravenous drug injections, such as the injection of emergency drugs and contrast agents. When it is necessary to quickly inject a large dose of liquid or drugs intravenously, 20ml syringes will also be used, such as in emergency fluid replacement and the injection of some special drugs in large quantities.
Body Fluid Withdrawal
Blood Collection: In the operation of collecting blood for testing, 5ml and 10ml syringes are both commonly used. For general blood routine and biochemical tests, 5ml syringes can usually meet the requirements. However, for the situation of collecting more blood for multiple tests or special tests, 10ml syringes may be more suitable.
Withdrawal of Pleural and Ascites Fluids: In clinical treatment, 5ml, 10ml and 20ml syringes can all be used to withdraw fluids from body cavities such as the pleural and abdominal cavities. In diagnostic punctures to initially judge the nature of the fluid, 5ml or 10ml syringes may be sufficient. If a large amount of fluid needs to be withdrawn to relieve symptoms, 20ml syringes may be used, and sometimes even syringes with larger capacities.
Drug Preparation
Drug Dilution
In wards or pharmacies, 5ml, 10ml and 20ml syringes are often used to dilute drugs when preparing them. Different capacities of syringes will be selected according to the dosage of the drug and the required dilution concentration. For example, for some antibiotic powders, 5ml or 10ml syringes may be used to draw an appropriate amount of solvent for dissolution and dilution. For some drugs that need to be diluted in large quantities, such as some chemotherapeutic drugs, 20ml syringes may be used.
Drug Mixing
Different capacity syringes are also used when mixing various drugs. When mixing different drugs such as vitamins and electrolytes into infusion bottles, 5ml and 10ml syringes can be used to accurately measure small doses of drugs, and 20ml syringes can be used to measure relatively large doses of drug solutions to achieve the purpose of mixing and preparation.
Drug Dilution
Wound Flushing
In surgical dressing change rooms or operating rooms, 5ml, 10ml and 20ml syringes may all be used to flush wounds. For small superficial wounds, 5ml or 10ml syringes can be used to draw an appropriate amount of normal saline and other flushing fluids for flushing. For larger wounds or deep wounds, 20ml syringes may be needed to provide greater flushing pressure and flushing fluid volume to ensure wound cleanliness.
Canal Flushing
When flushing canals such as the urethra and vagina, different capacity syringes also have their respective uses. Generally, 5ml and 10ml syringes can be used for routine canal cleaning and small-dose drug flushing. When more thorough flushing is required, such as in the treatment of some canal infections, 20ml syringes may be more suitable.
