Abstract

Aspiration during routine injection is meant to ensure that the injecting needle tip is at the anticipatedlocation during this unsighted procedure. While injecting needle appears to be a simple procedure, it hasproduced a lot of controversy regarding the apparent benefits and indications. Keeping in view the hugenumber of injections given worldwide, it is observed that key questions regarding aspiration till now,remain unanswered. Due to very smaller number of studies and data in the literature there is no evidence ofparticular injecting procedure as truly beneficial or unjustified. The present integrative review was chosen todraw conclusions about the current state of knowledge and practice of aspiration and use of syringes amongmedical, paramedical and dental practitioners. On analyzing the questionnaire output data’s, it was observedthat most sound knowledge practitioners found difficulty in usage of syringes and forget to aspirate dueto nervousness during injection resulting in positive aspiration (p<0.05) during the procedure. Hencefortha new invention in the syringe for safer and easier use or a standard injecting technique with aspirationprotocol have to be established to avoid complications due to difficulty in usage of syringes during minor ormajor surgical procedures.
