//It takes a LOT of injected air to cause a problem. We shoot 2-3 mls of air iv regularly to check for openings between the atria. I've seen unsuccessful suicide attempts with 60ml of air.
//You aspirate an IM injection not because of air....but because injecting oilbased solution into a vein is a bad idea. It goes to the heart and from there to the lungs, where it froths and produces symptoms similar to a pulmonary embolus....
//Back to the original question: no harm done.
Exactly the problem is the oil not the air.
