Explain how an aspiration test performed?

What will be an ideal response?


Once the needle is advanced to the appropriate deposition site for a specific injection, and before depositing solution, perform an aspiration test by applying gentle, brief back pressure on the upper inside surface of the thumb ring. This action changes the pressure inside the cartridge from positive to negative. If the needle has entered a vessel, blood will be drawn into the cartridge, referred to as a "positive aspiration." No drug should be depositedin the specific location of a positive aspiration.
