EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the correct site for a dorsogluteal injection, highlighting the intricate anatomy of this region. The image features a red square indicating the precise location for administering an intramuscular injection in the upper outside quadrant of the buttock, known as the dorsogluteal muscle. While this site is rarely utilized due to potential risks, such as damaging the sciatic nerve and hitting the superior gluteal artery (depicted by yellow and red lines respectively), it remains crucial for medical professionals to understand its positioning accurately. This illustration serves as an educational tool in medicine, providing valuable insights into proper procedure and nursing practices. The detailed depiction emphasizes key elements including bones, nerves, muscles, pelvis, and rear view of a human body. By focusing on these specific anatomical structures associated with this injection site, healthcare practitioners can ensure safe administration while minimizing potential complications. Science Photo Library's artistry beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal in presenting complex medical concepts. This print not only offers valuable information but also acts as a visual reminder of best practices within healthcare settings.
