Statistical estimation of deltoid subcutaneous fat pad thickness: implications for needle length for vaccination
Abstract Current US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intramuscular injection needle length guidelines for injection fo the deltoid muscle are based on weight and gender. The aims of this study are (1) to evaluate whether other biometric data (age, gender, height, weight and body mass index...
