Place the tape measure around the LEFT arm (the arm should be relaxed and hang down the side of the body).
Measure the MUAC while ensuring that the tape neither pinches the arm nor is left loose.
Read the measurement from the window of the tape or from the tape. Record the MUAC to the nearest 0.1 cm or 1mm.
MUAC is measured in adults and children, to the nearest 0.1 cm, using a flexible non stretch tape laid at the midpoint between the acromion and olecranon processes on the shoulder blade and the ulna, respectively, of the arm.
MUAC is a measure of the sum of the muscle and subcutaneous fat in the upper arm.

Steps of concentrator process
2. Compresses the oxygen
3. Takes out nitrogen from the air
4. Adjust the way the air is delivered
5. Delivers the purified air to the patient
vein visualization (also known as vein illumination). It uses near- infrared (NIR) imaging for detecting veins.
this proven technology enables accurate visualization of the veins under the skin………
first, the hemoglobin in the blood absorbs the infrared light, so there is a reduce amount of light reflection from the veins.
Alcohol Swabs
It is used to disinfect the skin prior injection in order to prevent infections caused by bacteria on the skin being injected within the tissue.
They are individually packaged pads made of cotton and contain 70% isopropyl, tightly sealed in an aluminium paper bag to keep them sterile and prevent dryness.
It was proven to be a great disinfectant killing 47-91% of the number of bacteria on the skin.
