Subcutaneous pictures:
This is a bag warmed Lactated Ringer's, but one can also use 0.9% Sodium Chloride


Enough syringes to give whatever amout you choose to give


Pre-filled syringes with warmed fluids and new 18 gauge needle.






Insert needle and watch that it doesn't poke back out or you will get wet, lol. Slowly depress plunger and look for leaks. If no leaks, give fluids.






This is the size of the bubble after 75ml.






Here you can see how it's spread under the skin.


Wet area with rubbing alcohol, this will allow better viewing of the injection site.
