Description

Intraperitoneal injections are a method of delivering medication directly into the peritoneal cavity, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. This technique is commonly used in certain medical treatments, including chemotherapy and fluid administration.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'inyecciones intraperitoneales' is the formal term used in clinical settings. Variants such as 'inyecciones en el abdomen' may be heard in more casual contexts but should be avoided in professional interpretation. It is crucial to maintain a formal register when discussing this procedure.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'intraperitoneal' with 'intradérmico'; misinterpreting the procedure as a simple abdominal injection; mixing up with other injection types like intramuscular or subcutáneo.
