ABSTRACT
Subcutaneous injection of active principles must be performed through a short and thin needle and an insuline syringe (because of the few quantity of drug to administrate). In our Centre, to prevent preterm chronic anemia wc practice subcutaneous therapy with recombinant human erythropoietin. 300 UI three times a week, to all the newborns weighing < 1500 g at birth. Injections to the newborns are performed in correspondence of their gluteal and deltoid muscles, and in the outer part of their thigh. To prevent atrophy, it is important to change every time the site of Injection. For this goal, we have created the shape of a newborn, nained Puntino, and we have located 24 points on it. Each point has received a number between 0 and 23. During the treatment we have followed the guide of Puntino to locate each time the correct site of injection. Thanks to Puntino's aid, there were no cases of skin adverse reaction and atrophy, even in newborns weighing < 1000 g.
