I love this name for a girl, in fact, I gave the name to my daughter. I spell her name Rianne and pronounce it Ryan, NOT Ree-ann! I thought the i would be softer and more feminine than a y and I thought the anne was more feminine than an. Just my thought.
Intramuscular Injections: Any one cc syringe for IM (intramuscular) injections is good to use. For IM, you need a needle that is one to one and a half inches long and, typically, a 25 gauge needle is used.
This process anesthetizes the entire immediate area so that if redirection of the spinal needle is necessary, the area will still be anesthetized. For this reason, a 10-mL syringe may be more beneficial than the usual 3-mL syringe supplied with the standard lumbar puncture kit. The 20-gauge needle can also be used as a guide for the general direction of the spinal needle.
