Our department decided to stop purchasing the EPI-pens and are now training our EMT-Bs to give EPI IM injections. During the training the officer in charge has the EMTs injecting each other, which I think is a good idea. He is using sterile water to draw up and inject in the proper IM site, but I think it should be Normal Saline, not sterile water. Everybody getting the injection so far has stated the needle did not hurt but the injection did and hurt for some time. I can not find much information to back me up on my feeling of using NS over sterile water, what do you think? or has anyone found anything I can use.
