Acute pancreatitis or acute pancreatic necrosis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. It can have severe complications and high mortality despite treatment.
The needles themselves are categorized by length as well as the needle's gauge, indicating the overall thickness of the needle. Contrary to most measurement systems, the higher the needle's gauge, the smaller it actually is. Insulin syringes, for example, are found in three common sizes: 1 cc, 1/2 cc, and 3/10 cc. The correct size syringe to use is determined by the average size of the dose of insulin that the patient administers. An insulin syringe also can be categorized by how many units of insulin it is designed to hold.
Re: Insulin units to ml. A dosing measure of insulin is always in units and should NEVER be converted to mL! There is a reason that the syringes are different. This is not a mathematical challenge, and trying to convert in such a fashion is foolish. Use insulin syringes for insulin, which is dosed in units. Use mL syringes for medications that are clearly dosed in mL. DO NOT (as the previous post stated) assume that 100units is 1cc.
