How to Give Intranasal Medication: Nasal Atomizer, Step by Step | Paramedic Skills

Learn the sequence for intranasal medication administration with a mucosal atomizing device (MAD): patient preparation, supplies, medication checks, drawing up, nasal inspection, delivery and reassessment. Includes a supplies checklist and a quick check on medication clarity and expiration. Blood or mucus can reduce nasal absorption. The Teleflex MAD Nasal guide describes dividing medication between nostrils, with the second administration if indicated; BCEHS PR11 also describes using each nostril. Follow the instructions for your device, the medication directions and your local protocol. This demonstration delivers into one nostril. The filmed device model is unverified, and the 2017 Teleflex guide is supplementary guidance rather than the full instructions for use. Medication safety extends beyond the five rights named here. Broader checklists also address allergies, expiration and documentation. Assess the response and any adverse effects, and provide ventilation support when needed.
