Podcast 802: Intranasal Medication Administration for Pediatric Patients

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Intranasal medication administration is a convenient, quick, and relatively painless option for pediatric patients
  • Often used as an initial medication to help control pain in children prior to establishing an IV
  • Using an atomizer is preferred when administering intranasal medications
  • The syringe should be angled towards the ipsilateral eye or occiput rather than straight upwards
  • Do not administer more than 1 mL of fluid per nostril as volumes greater than 1 mL are not sufficiently absorbed
  • Intranasal medication doses differ from the traditional IV dosages and have a slower onset of action
